Summary:

Isabel Archer, a courageous and graceful American woman, unexpectedly inherits a fortune. In search of her destiny, she travels to Europe, where she becomes captivated by the languid, deceptive charms of the expatriate American Gilbert Osmond. To Gilbert, Isabel represents a superior prize worth a fortune. And through him, she faces a tragic choice. This haunting, breathtaking film stars Nicole Kidman, John Malkovich, Barbara Hershey, Mary-Louise Parker, Shelley Winters, and Shelley Duvall. Along with the full screenplay, this edition contains an introduction and comments by Jones about how she and Campion transformed the classic novel into a movie. Also included are eight pages of photographs taken during the production of the film, biographies of the cast, and character descriptions from James's novel that the actors used in preparing for their roles.
