Best known for writing such iconic novels as The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome and The Custom of the Country, she was aIso a talented designer, a tireIess traveller and a passionate phiIanthropist.

Lewis and Eleanor Dwight, as well as writer CoIin CIark and historian Sir Steven Runciman, this documentary portrait also incIudes the onIy known film footage of Wharton in existence. |
