The Blind Goddess is a 1948 British courtroom drama film directed by Harold French and starring Eric Portman, Anne Crawford and Hugh Williams.[3] The screenplay concerns a secretary who sets out to expose his boss, Lord Brasted, for embezzlement. It was based on a popular 1947 play of the same title by noted barrister Patrick Hastings.[4][5]
Claire Bloom made her screen debut in the film.[6] Director Harold French said "I don't think the film was successful but it got Clare noticed."[7]
