Die alte Jungfer (1939)
Charlotte und Delia Lovell sind zwei charmante, sich nahestehende Cousinen aus der besseren Gesellschaft in Philadelphia. Es ist der Tag von Delias Hochzeit, als ihr im Bürgerkrieg verschollen geglaubter Verlobter Clem wieder auftaucht. Trotzdem vermählt sich Delia mit dem wohlhabenden Jim Ralston, während Charlotte, selbst in Clem verliebt, sich um den Enttäuschten kümmert. Doch der erlebt das Ende des Krieges nicht mehr, und Charlotte leitet inzwischen ein Waisenhaus. Als sich die Möglichkeit bietet, den Bruder von Delias Mann zu heiraten, gesteht sie ihr eine schreckliche Wahrheit: Unter den Waisenkindern ist ihre eigene und Clems uneheliche Tochter Clementina, deren Existenz sie bisher verheimlichen konnte....
