Sinossi
Nei primi anni del ‘900, uno degli scambi più frequenti tra le due sponde dell’Atlantico è quello tra titoli nobiliari e grandi patrimoni. Come quello che è riuscito a fare Sir Nigel Anstruthers, un nobiluomo inglese ridotto in miseria, che ha sposato la newyorkese Rosalie Vanderpoel, figlia di un milionario. Ma, sotto l’apparenza elegante, sir Nigel è un uomo spregevole e, una volta tornato in Inghilterra con la moglie, obbliga la donna a interrompere i rapporti con la famiglia.
