      How does a wealthy and mediocre heiress find love?

      How does a wealthy and mediocre heiress find love? This is probably also an age-old problem. Rich and beautiful, love is everywhere; mediocre and ordinary, that is the triviality of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Can be rich and mediocre? Choose one, also pick a rich and mediocre, just as the heroine father expects, but may become more and more surplus and lose inadequate, the right one, but the more boring; choice two, pick a poor and handsome and interesting, it is a drama The male...

      What did the heiress inherit?

      I have fallen in love with black and white films recently, and I feel that it is very simple and profound.

      Today’s pick is "Heiress", a work directed by William Wheeler. I have seen several of his films recently, "Little Fox", "Golden Age", "Wuthering Heights", and the famous "Roman Holiday" "Ben Xu", and "The Loyalty House" are all his masterpieces. In my...

      Unwilling to walk into a man's script

      A dark line is the battle between the daughter and the father. The heroine grows up with a rich annuity, but she is emotionally attached to her father. The father openly despised her and denied her, causing her clumsy and low self-esteem, but he was picky about her because of her clumsy and low self-esteem. Vicious circle. The father's feelings towards his daughter were totally inconsequential. So, after being provoked by her daughter, she deserves to see her rejected when...

      Where does the woman's misfortune come from

      100 years ago in 1949, this story was almost the same as the Cinderella fairy tale. It could begin with once upon a time. But just like today there are still Cinderella looking forward to the prince to find her to marry a wealthy family, today there are still countless men vainly trying to become a winner in life by marrying an heiress instead of working hard.

      The plot is really maddening. When I see the end, my conclusion is: this woman is not worthy of sympathy at all and deserves...

      William Wheeler is really a master at making classical family dramas. In the film, the Beiquezhu Palace, the embroidered clothes and the story environment are well integrated, giving people a beautiful enjoyment. De Havilland's performance is very layered, playing the image of an unconfident old maid, and the role has also won her an Oscar for best actress. The story is wonderful, the characters are delicately portrayed, and the display of the truth about marriage is too bold. After reading it,...
