The Old Maid
“Vividly, unforgettably, a woman's love starved soul is revealed. All those strange secrets she locks in her heart ... moments of rapture and of heartbreak ... longings that no man can fathom. Of these has the year's finest picture been woven!”
Drama
The lives of two cousins are complicated by the return of an ex-boyfriend and an illegitimate child.
VIBE
A sweeping, romantic drama steeped in 19th-century societal pressures. It feels like a grand, old-fashioned novel brought to life, full of longing, difficult choices, and the quiet ache of unfulfilled dreams.
