      Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Negri's in sly, understated form here as a modern-day Catherine the Great... Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Iris Barry The Spectator Too often the cinema presents us with a picture of attractive moral laxity, and tags a text at the end. There is no text to Forbidden Paradise, nor was any necessary, for the laxity it shows is not attractive, though depicted with fine wit. Jul 2, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
