Elizabeth Barrett's tyrannical father has forbidden any of his family to marry. Nevertheless, Elizabeth falls in love with the poet Robert Browning. Director: Sidney Franklin. The love story between Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett is legendary, and her 'Sonnets from the Portuguese' contains some of the beautiful love poetry ever written.

Sonnets Portuguese: Sonnets from the Portuguese was written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning between 1845 and 1846. It is a collection of forty-four love sonnets for her future husband Robert Browning.

In the beginning, she was not planning on publishing any of this. However, after Robert’s insistence, she published them in 1850.

Period films were a dime a dozen in this era of history, but The Barretts of Wimpole Street is certainly one of the better ones. The costumes are straight up divine, as are the sets, and Norma Shearer and Fredric March, staples of the Oscars at this point, both deliver moving performances as starcrossed lovers. The father is super creepy though, and the undercurrent of his malice and possessiveness doesn’t always work.
