The Constant Nymph
DramaFamilyMysteryRomance112 min
In a household built around music, teenage Tessa falls hard for gifted composer Lewis Dodd, a family friend whose place in her life changes after her father dies and new relatives arrive. Joan Fontaine is Tessa, watching her devotion turn complicated when Lewis begins a romance with her older cousin Florence. Charles Boyer’s Lewis sits at the center of a triangle that reshapes the family, while Alexis Smith’s Florence brings a more adult claim on his attention. Adapted from Margaret Kennedy’s story, the film threads love, jealousy, and artistic ambition through a domestic world where music is never far from the surface.
