The Golden Bowl
From the novel by Henry James
Here's a film that assumes we're all up to speed on the intricacies of old money. An American heiress finds her marriage to a prince imperiled by his affair with her father's new wife. It's a complicated scenario that concludes with everyone sort of getting what they want, if not what they deserve.
