01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In Edwardian era England, Ivy Lexton (Joan Fontaine) is a woman with a taste for the finer things in life. Despairing of her husband's poor prospects, Jervis (Richard Ney), Ivy sees an opportunity in wealthy Miles Rushworth (Herbert Marshall), and is determined to have him, despite being married and having the additional obstacle of her affair with the infatuated Dr. Roger Gretorex (Patric Knowles).
