A Woman of Affairs
Wild Desire! Burning Lips! Racing Hearts!
Directed by Clarence Brown
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A melodramatic silent-era romance about thwarted love and personal ruin, driven by passion and social constraint rather than resolution.
Childhood friends Diana, Neville and David are caught in a love triangle as adults. Diana and Neville have long been smitten with each other, but her father disapproves of the relationship, resulting in her eventual marriage to David. It's not long after their wedding, however, that tragedy strikes, sending Diana on a downward spiral. When Neville reappears in her life, will he be able to save her from her own misery?
