'If This Be Sin' or by it's original British title 'The Dangerous Age' is a melodrama based on the 1937 play 'Autumn' by Margaret Kennedy (best known for her novel 'The Constant Nymph'). It is a love quadrangle between a prominent English lawyer (Roger Livesey), his wife (Myrna Loy), his law partner (Richard Green, best known for playing Robin Hood for a 143 episode on British TV in the 1950's) and his daughter (Peggy Cummins, the year before her best remembered role in the 1950 noir 'Gun Crazy'). Movie get's surprisingly raw. The best line in the thing is when Loy is querying Cummins on how long she's loved Green and is answered "Since I first met him, before Dunkirk". ***
