The Inheritance
Movie • 1997 • Drama
ReportAt the lush Evenswood estate in Concord, Massachusetts, Edith Adelon, a beautiful orphan, lives as the paid companion to the daughter of the wealthy Hamilton family, although they regard her as one of their own. Years ago, Henry Hamilton saved Edith from an Italian orphanage at the request of his long-deceased brother. Now, Edith is his daughter Amy's prized friend and confidante. As the Hamiltons await a trio of visitors for the annual Greens Cup horse race, Beatrice Hamilton asks for Edith's help in finding a suitable husband for a cousin, Ida Glenshaw, with one of two visiting eligible bachelors. But when it becomes clear that both the young men have affection for Edith and not Ida, jealousy soon develops, leading to malicious conniving and brutal backstabbing.

The protagonist is grabbed by a man who she has already rejected and he wrestles her to the ground. Before he can go further, he is pulled off, exposed as a creep, and banished from society. One man tells the story of meeting his wife, and says that she was “too young” and claims that if he was her father, he would have shot him. They have already been shown to be a devoted couple, and this WAS socially normal for the time period when the movie takes place, but... its still iffy at best.
