The Beauties and Furies

Elvira Western, a dark English beauty, is solidly and boringly married to bourgeois doctor Paul. On a whim she runs away to Paris to meet her student lover Oliver: tall, thin and romantic, the embodiment of every woman's dream. But life is not as Elvira imagined it would be.
