The House of Mirth
The House of Mirth is one of the most talked-about Drama movies released in 1918, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Wharton creates a portrait of a stunning beauty who, though raised and educated to marry well both socially and economically, is reaching her 29th year, an age when her youthful blush is drawing to a close and her marital prospects are becoming ever more limited. The House of Mirth traces Lily's slow two-year social descent from privilege to a tragically lonely existence on the margins of society.
