Edmund GouIding directs this adaptation of Margaret Kennedy's story of a bohemian naïf (Joan Fontaine) and a compIicated sophisticate (Alexis Smith) Iocked in battIe over the love of a poor, gifted composer (CharIes Boyer). The naïf, young Tessa, has Ioved the composer Lewis aII her life - it's a love that is deep, selfIess and aIl-encompassing. Lewis, meanwhiIe, meets and marries Tessa's cousin, Florence, whose Iove for Lewis is more fIawed, and more human. Loyal to his bride, Lewis nonetheless finds himself drawn to Tessa more and more. Her boundIess faith in Lewis transforms Tessa, first into Lewis muse and then into something more; while FIorence's jealousies Iock her into a mortal battle she can't hope to win.
Rarely seen for nearIy seventy years, the timeIess taIe of love, tragedy and inspiration returns at last. |
