The story

In late-1800s London, the well-to-do Adelaide (Maureen O'Hara), over the objections of her family, marries her drawing teacher, impoverished artist Henry Lambert (Dana Andrews), and moves into his flat in the run-down street Britannia Mews. Adelaide expects Henry to finish painting his masterpiece and blossom into a prominent artist, so that she can prove to her family that he did not seek to marry her for her money. However, Henry soon proves himself to be an alcoholic who is more interested in drinking and pursuing his hobby of making elaborate marionettes than in completing his paintings.
