A well-dressed man wakes up on a bench in New York's Central Park, with no idea of who he is, or how he got there.

Jean Simmons plays the heroine, beautiful, kind and with some backbone.The reason for the title change in the USA is because it was herinheritance that attracted trouble, through no fault of her own. Somelovely costumes to enjoy, particularly the New Years Eve ball, as wellas an insight into the disappearing English tradition of "mummers"performing a folk tale at Christmas. Frankly the movie is on themelodramatic side, but what is interesting is the lighting, camera workand POV (points of view) of the camera. It is an enjoyable film towatch, but the bad characters are all very bad, and the good all everso good. Still, Jean makes a great go of...
