Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Beyond the Forest is a 1949 American Film Noir directed by King Vidor and featuring Bette Davis and Joseph Cotten.Rosa Moline (Davis) is the neglected wife of Doctor Lewis Moline (Cotten) in Loyaltown, Wisconsin. The small town is powered by a small industry but is still lightly settled, being rural in character while still being exposed to consumerism and mass media from the big city. This affects Rosa Moline adversely. She grows bored and becomes infatuated with a visiting Chicago businessman with whom she engages in an affair, less out of love than a desire to go to Chicago and live the high life and escape her existence. This creates tensions in her marriage and leads to a series of vignettes where Rosa sets herself apart from the town, engages with dreams and fantasies about going to live in Chicago, setting the stage for a violent conflict.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Davis's last film at Warner Bros., after eighteen year working for WB. Max Steiner composed the score.

Babies Make Everything Better: Inverted. When the businessman has a change of heart and comes back to Rosa, he states that he wants her back, but not her baby (as the baby's father is Rosa's husband). Likewise, Rosa doesn't want to have children, and when she announces it to Lewis, she has Dull Eyes of Unhappiness.

Downer Ending: When the businessman states that he wants Rosa back, but not the baby she's expecting from her husband, she attempts to abort by throwing herself down a hill. She gets peritonitis. She dies. The end.

Extreme Doormat: Rosa's husband Lewis, who she resents for his lack of ambition and inability to give her the lifestyle she feels she deserves, and who likewise puts up with her adultery, her selfishness and emotional abuse.
