After Fanny Hopwood’s father dies, she goes to live with a benefactor who turns out to be her real dad. But Fanny keeps running into the caddish Lord Manderstoke. The British studio Gainsborough became identified with costume melodrama during the war years, making some of the most popular escapist romances of the day.

The critics may have sniffed, but the public loved them! Phyllis Calvert, James Mason, Stewart Granger and Jean Kent form the classic Gainsborough line-up in this bosom-heaving bodice-ripper, directed by prime minister’s son Anthony Asquith.
