Irene (Greer Garson) is a gorgeous but poor piano teacher being pursued by the wealthy and ruthless, Soames Forsyte (Errol Flynn). The story is told in flashback. Melodramatic to the core, filled with chance encounters and emotional miscommunication, the film suffers from seriousness but benefits from the harmless silliness afforded to bad writing by the passage of a handful of decades.

The film suffers from its short length, and I imagine has many concepts greatly expanded on in the book. Now I know why I pushed it out of my memory: I had absolutely zero sympathy for any of the characters except a little for June and that was as very little. Directed by Compton Bennett. Garson is Irene, a beautiful but poverty-stricken woman who marries Soames Forsyte (Flynn), admitting from the first that she does not love him.
