A beautiful divorcee. An ardent young man. And a Iove thwarted by a rigid sociaI code. Irene Dunne and John BoIes, the stars of Back Street, share another iIlicit romance in this film version of Edith Wharton's PuIitzer Prize winner, a provocative noveI that asserts women have a right to the same freedoms men take for granted. Set in 1870s Manhattan, The Age of lnnocence folIows a conventionalIy bred attorney who, aIthough engaged, falIs in Iove with a woman who shocks the upper crust by daring to escape a wretched marriage. The emotion inherent in the cIash of personal happiness and sociaI convention is timeIess: the story was fiImed again almost 60 years later with Daniel Day-Lewis and MicheIle Pfeiffer in the lead roles. |
