What happens

The Blind Goddess is a 1948 British courtroom drama film directed by Harold French and starring Eric Portman, Anne Crawford and Michael Denison. 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. Claire Bloom made her screen debut in the film. Director Harold French said "I don't think the film was successful but it got Clare noticed." The "blind goddess" in question is Justice.
