Summary |
A love story early this century on a young millionaire who has gone mad and his loyal wife. For twenty years, suffragette Katherine McCormick awaits a cure while doctors treat Stanley in his palatial mansion in California. They won't allow her visits because he cannot look at a woman without attacking her, so the couple's only contact is by telephone. |
