You have to extend credibility with this one, but it's entertaining, nonetheless. It takes place in the 19thc, with Maureen O'Hara playing upper class Adelaide Culver, who makes the mistake of marrying her drawing tutor, Henry Lambert, (Dana Andrews) who married her for her money, drinks too much and wastes his artistic talent making marionettes that he does nothing with. They live in Brittania Mews, a place that's always held a fascination for Adelaide. Soon, Adelaide's a widow, being blackmailed by her neighbor, Mrs. Mounsey (Sybil Thorndyke) and rescued by Gilbert Lauderdale, who's the image of her late husband (Dana Andrews in a dual role).
The movie has its comic as well as dramatic moments, mostly involving Adelaide's younger brother, Treff (Anthony Tancred).
Not the greatest film, but far from the worst.
