Based on the celebrated novels of Galsworthy, this lavish film focuses on a strong-willed woman who marries into a rich and powerful British family. It's a good-looking but dreary soap opera that begins to drag about half-way through. Garson is charming as usual as the woman who agrees to marry frigid Flynn, even though she doesn't love him. Pidgeon is once again paired with Garson, but he has a small role as the black sheep of the Forsyte family. Leigh is pretty and peppy. Young is not only too old to be playing Leigh's fiancé, but he's also miscast as a heartthrob. It's hard to believe that women would be fighting over someone who's so plain.
