''They Were Sisters'' is a 1945 British melodrama film, directed by Arthur Crabtree for Gainsborough Pictures and starring James Mason and Phyllis Calvert. The film was produced by Harold Huth, with cinematography from Jack Cox and screenplay by Roland Pertwee. ''They Were Sisters'' is noted for its frank, unsparing depiction of marital abuse at a time when the subject was rarely discussed openly. It was one of the Gainsborough Melodramas. ==Background== Unlike most of the hugely successful melodramas made by Gainsborough during the mid-1940s, ''They Were Sisters'' has a near-contemporary rather than a costume setting, spanning the years from the immediate aftermath of World War I through to the late 1930s. The screenplay was developed by Pertwee from a popular novel of the same name by Dorothy Whipple, published in 1943. ''They Were Sisters'' features the spouses of both Mason and Calvert; Pamela Mason (billed under her maiden name Pamela Kellino, and playing Mason's daughter despite being only seven years younger) and Peter Murray-Hill. Despite having achieved star-status via previous Gainsborough films such as ''The Man in Grey'' and ''Fanny by Gaslight'', and being arguably the top male box-office draw in the country at the time, Mason's dissatisfaction with what he saw as the limitations of the British film industry were evident during the making of the film, and he later admitted that he acted most of his bullying, sadistic role in varying degrees of drunkenness.〔("Odd Man Out" ) ''The Guardian'', 30 October 2003.
