SYNOPSIS:
Alex Dillingham, a young soldier, falls in love with an actress named Rose Vibert, and talks her into coming away with him to his villa. Upon their arrival, he admits he has lied: the villa belongs to his uncle George, an artist who is currently in Italy having an affair with Italian sculptress Giulietta Trapani. When George returns home, he and Rose are instantly attracted to each other. Rose receives word that she is needed for a tour and leaves. Alex, heartbroken, goes into the army
Two years pass and Alex returns to find that George and Rose are living together. George claims that Rose would be better off with Alex, but Rose wants no part of it. She follows George to Italy where she meets and befriends Giulietta. The two women are attracted to each other immediately. It is in Venice where Rose and George marry. Alex, heartbroken for the second time, is transferred to Malaya.
Twelve years later, Rose is now a famous actress and Alex returns to watch her performance. She takes him back with her to see George and meet his twelve-year old cousin Jenny. Three years go by - Jenny is now fifteen years old and in love with Alex. Rose warns both Alex and George of her misgivings of Jenny's affections, but they continue nevertheless. Meanwhile, George begins obsessive plans for his funeral. Alex and Jenny become a tad too affectionate in front of George and he storms off. Alex, Rose, Jenny and George realize the madness of their situation. That night, Alex puts Jenny to sleep. George,suspicious, charges to her room to confront them. However, on the way, suffers a heart attack and dies outside her door.
George's funeral takes place. Giulietta arrives and she and Alex eventually seduce each other. She convinces him to stop affairs with Jenny. Jenny become frantic and begs him to stay. Rose arrives and laments her loneliness as she asks Alex not to leave.
