Henry James' novel is the source for this film contrasting American and European manners during the mid-19th century. The story takes place in New England during a period of time when European cousins Eugenia (Lee Remick) and Felix (Tim Woodward) visit their American relatives and try to take advantage of their prosperity by marrying one of them. Eugenia woos cousin Robert (Robin Ellis), while Felix really falls for Gertrude (Lisa Eichhorn), but there are differences from the start marked by sophisticated, but poor, Europeans and stern, but wealthy, New Englanders. Will real love rise to the fore and overcome those differences?
