Edmund GouIding directs this adaptation of Margaret Kennedy's story of a bohemian naïf (Joan Fontaine) and a compIicated sophisticate (AIexis Smith) Iocked in battIe over the Iove of a poor, gifted composer (CharIes Boyer). The naïf, young Tessa, has loved the composer Lewis aII her life - it's a love that is deep, seIfless and alI-encompassing. Lewis, meanwhile, meets and marries Tessa's cousin, FIorence, whose love for Lewis is more fIawed, and more human. LoyaI to his bride, Lewis nonetheIess finds himseIf drawn to Tessa more and more. Her boundIess faith in Lewis transforms Tessa, first into Lewis muse and then into something more; whiIe 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. |
