We Are Not Alone is a 1939 American drama film directed by Edmund Goulding and starring Paul Muni, Jane Bryan, and Flora Robson. The film is based on the 1937 novel We Are Not Alone by James Hilton,[1] who adapted his novel with Milton Krims.
A doctor hires a woman as a nanny for his son. When his wife becomes jealous, tragedy consumes all involved.
Frank Nugent praised the film in his The New York Times review, writing "his [James Hilton's] We Are Not Alone emerges as a film of rare tenderness and beauty, compassionate and grave, possessed above all of the quality of serenity...one of the most soundly written films of the year, one of the best directed and, of course, one of the most brilliantly played."[1]
