Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Society scion Newland Archer is engaged to May Welland, but his well-ordered life is upset when he meets May's unconventional cousin, the Countess Olenska. At first, Newland becomes a defender of the Countess, whose separation from her abusive husband makes her a social outcast in the restrictive high society of late-19th Century New York, but he finds in her a kindred spirit and they fall in love.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Jay Cocks first gave his friend Martin Scorsese a copy of Edith Wharton's novel in 1980. At the time, he told Scorsese, "When you do that romantic piece, this one is you." It took Scorsese seven years to finally get around to reading the book. See more » |
| Goofs | During the baptism of Newland's and May's child, the family priest blesses the child with "the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit" instead of "the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost". The usage of this phrase only came about after the revision of the Episcopalian prayer book in the 1920s. See more » |

| Quotes |
Newland:
You gave me my first glimpse of a real life. Then you asked me to go on with the false one. No one can endure that. Ellen: I'm enduring it. See more » |
