Inevitable
Cornelie De Retz Van Loo, a twenty-three-year-old divorcee meets the Dutch painter Duco van der Staal, and they move in together. Duco and Cornelie are happy but poor. In desperation, Cornelie takes a position as a companion to an elderly American lady, where she encounters her ex-husband, and succumbs to his continuing power over her.
