Doctor Thorne

Son of a bankrupt landowner, Frank Gresham is intent on marrying his beloved Mary Thorne, despite her illegitimacy and apparent poverty. Frank's ambitious mother and haughty aunt are set against the match, however, and push him to save the family's mortgaged estate by making a good marriage to a wealthy heiress.

Fiul unui proprietar falimentar, Frank Gresham intentioneaza sa se casatoreasca cu iubita sa Mary Thorne, in ciuda ilegitimitatii si a saraciei sale aparente. Totusi, ambitioasa mama a lui Frank si matusa trufasa sunt puse impotriva meciului si il imping sa salveze averea ipotecata a familiei, facand o casatorie buna cu o mostenitoare bogata.
