Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })East Lynne is a 1931 film directed by Frank Lloyd.It is a loose adaptation of an 1861 novel by Ellen Wood. The film starts with the marriage of Lady Isabella Mount Severn (Ann Harding) to the equally wealthy Robert Carlyle (Conrad Nagel), possessor of a giant estate called East Lynne. Isabella and Robert have a baby, but she soon finds life in an English country house not to her liking, mainly due to the presence of Robert's bitchy older sister Cecelia. Cecelia, an old maid who has managed East Lynne for many years, hates Isabella, and especially hates her cheerful vivaciousness and love of fun. Robert for his part is a spineless prig who lets Cecelia continue to run the house.Three years after Robert and Isabella's marriage, Robert's old friend Captain Levinson (Clive Brook), a charming but slightly disreputable diplomat, comes calling. Capt. Levinson winds up escorting Isabella to a dance and, captivated by her, proclaims his love. In fact, he enters her bedroom. She chucks him out but Cecelia, who saw Levinson go in, seizes on her chance. Robert, who in the end trusts his bitchy sister far more than his loving wife, throws her out of the house—and forbids her from ever seeing her son again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })That's followed by a series of traumas which include social shunning, poverty, getting stuck in the middle of the Franco-Prussian War, and blindness.

Chick Flick: A noble, virtuous woman is victimized and buffeted by a heartless prig of a husband and an irresponsible, shiftless lover, is separated from her child, and goes through a series of traumas while dreaming only of seeing the baby again.
