On the day of his wedding, Sir John Carteret's fiancée, Moonyeen, is killed by a jealous rival named Jeremy, leaving him emotionally devastated. Carteret spends three decades in seclusion, mostly communing with the spirit of Moonyeen, until he learns that her niece, Kathleen, has become an orphan. He adopts and raises the child as his own but is alarmed when, as a young woman, she falls in love with the son of Moonyeen's murderer.

A good old fashioned melodrama with just an edge of the supernatural that kinda made wish this was a full on Gothic romance. The ending is particularly gorgeous.

A Hollywood story about bitterness and eventual forgiveness I can get behind. Told in a neat dual role story it is also told well, with March exceptionally of note in his lead. Good albeit heartbreaking stuff.
