The Anger is a 1964 British drama film directed by Guy Green. It is a psychological drama based on the 1940 play of the same name by N. C. Hunter. The film follows the story of Phyllis Marshall, a young woman whose husband leaves her after accusing her of being unfaithful to him.

The story explores the emotional turmoil that Phyllis experiences after her husband's departure, and her subsequent struggle to come to terms with the perceived betrayal. The film features a performance from Bette Davis, who portrays the complex and multifaceted character of Phyllis.

The film was based on Hunter's play, which was itself inspired by events in his own life. The play and the subsequent film adaptation were widely acclaimed for their portrayal of the complexities of human emotion.

The Anger was released in the UK in 1964, and was later released in the US in 1965. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising Davis's performance as well as the film's thought-provoking themes.

The film features a distinctive score composed by John Barry, who would go on to become a highly respected film composer. The film's cinematography was handled by John Wilcox, who used a combination of location shooting and studio work to create a nuanced and introspective visual style.

The Anger remains a relatively lesser-known work in Davis's filmography, but it offers a compelling exploration of the human experience and the complexities of relationships.
