Mrs. Parkington
The Great Novel of a Millionaire's Romance!
Directed by Tay Garnett
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A sweeping period romance and family saga tracing a woman's transformation from frontier maid to society matriarch, anchored by warmth and nostalgic reflection on love and social ascent.
In this family saga, Mrs. Parkington recounts the story of her life, beginning as a hotel maid in frontier Nevada where she is swept off her feet by mine owner and financier Augustus Parkington. He moves them to New York, tries to remake her into a society woman, and establishes their home among the wealthiest of New York's high society. Family and social life is not always peaceful, however, and she guides us, in flashbacks, through the rises and falls of the Parkington family fortunes.
