Wings of the Dove

Based on the novel by Henry James. This is the story of a young woman who is 'persuaded' to marry a rich young man, so that her family may recover some of its lost wealth.

Then the lovers hatch a plot of marrying off the poor journalist to the dying woman, in the hope that she will leave him all her money...
