The Wings of the Dove (1997), directed by Iain Softley, is a romantic drama film set in 1910 London. Kate Croy finds herself under the watchful eye of her aunt, Maud, who has taken her in as a ward. Maud’s plan is to find Kate a wealthy husband and protect her from the same fate that befell her mother when she married Kate’s father, Lionel. Enter Lord Mark, an elegant aristocrat with a large estate who begins to court Kate with Maud’s approval. However, Kate’s heart belongs to a young journalist named Merton Densher, which her aunt strictly forbids due to his modest background.
