Ruth is a British biblical short film produced by Ward Richards and directed by Donald Taylor. It was screened at the 1952 Olinda Film Festival.
Moabite widow Ruth and her Judahite mother-in-law Naomi relocate to Naomi's home village, Bethlehem.
Ruth is the second of two 30-minute biblical shorts made for J. Arthur Rank. Rita Birkett, the actress cast in the role of Ruth, was discovered at the Warrington Repertory Company. Elspeth March had starred in two successful West End stage productions before she was cast in the film. March was given the role of Naomi "after several other actresses had been tested, none of whom measured up to the precise requirements of the producer." The film was shot at Gate Studios, Elstree.
