Major Barbara DVD, 1941Availability Delivery Returns Policy
MovieMail's ReviewThree years after her star-making turn in Pygmalion, Wendy Hiller starred in another caustic George Bernard Shaw adaptation. A sophisticated and provocative critique of the corruption of idealism, Major Barbara stars Hiller as the eponymous Salvation Army Major, who becomes disillusioned when her reviled capitalist father (Robert Morley), a munitions factory owner, rescues her underfunded operation to humiliate her. To her horror, the Army general gratefully accepts the donation, and Barbara's beau (Rex Harrison) takes a job at the factory.

DVD Details
Film DescriptionBarbara Undershaft (Wendy Hiller) is the idealistic daughter of a wealthy munitions manufacturer. A major in the Salvation Army, she is devoted to a crusade against capitalists such as her father and neither has she any time for the romantic intentions of the love-struck Professor Adolphus (Rex Harrison). She is so shocked when the Salvation Army accepts a large donation from her father that she hands back her uniform, thinking that she may be able to save more souls working in the system than outside it.
