The Constant Nymph (1933)
I must not like the story of The Constant Nymph; I’ve been unable to sit through both the 1933 and the 1943 versions. A group of sheltered sisters develop crushes on an unusual musician, and when he marries one of the sisters, the other feels the wound deeply. In the remake, Charles Boyer breaks Joan Fontaine’s little heart, and in the original, Brian Aherne hurts Victoria Hopper.
I’m a soft touch for a May-December romance and a schoolgirl crush, so if I didn’t sympathize with either version, it doesn’t speak very highly of the story. In both, I found myself confused as all the sisters blended, and the composer’s character felt both insensitive and selfish. If you love Joan Fontaine, I’d recommend the remake, because she can pull off sickly and shy very well.
