The Old Maid

«Vividly, unforgettably, a woman's love starved soul is revealed. All those strange secrets she locks in her heart ... moments of rapture and of heartbreak ... longings that no man can fathom. Of these has the year's finest picture been woven!»

Edmund Goulding · 95 min · United States of America

The lives of two cousins are complicated by the return of an ex-boyfriend and an illegitimate child.
