Under Capricorn (1949)

In the year 1831, a hopeful Irishman, Charles Adare (Michael Wilding) sets sail for the sun-drenched shores of Australia. His dreams of fortune and prosperity are hinged on his influential uncle, the newly appointed Governor. Upon his arrival, the unseasoned Charles is drawn into the world of a prosperous ex-convict, Sam Flusky (Joseph Cotten), a powerful figure whose past is as murky as the outback's night sky. As Charles delves deeper into the labyrinth of this strange new world, he encounters a hauntingly familiar face - Lady Henrietta, "Hattie" (Ingrid Bergman), Sam's wife. Once a childhood acquaintance from Ireland and now a fragile figure teetering on the brink of madness, Hattie is ensnared in a web of alcohol and despair. Sam, desperate to revive his wife's spirits, hopes that Charles, a remnant of her past, might ignite a spark of sanity within her. In the shadowy corners of this intricate drama, lurks Milly (Margaret Leighton), the beguiling housekeeper, whose unrequited love for Sam fuels a dangerous game of manipulation and deceit. As Charles earnestly tries to resuscitate Hattie's crumbling psyche, he finds himself at odds with Milly's sinister intentions, igniting a volatile clash of passions and secrets. Amidst the tension, a gunshot pierces the air, and Charles, the unsuspecting victim of Sam's jealousy-fuelled rage, falls. As Hattie selflessly shoulders the blame, the cunning Milly seizes an opportunity to poison her rival, seeing her chances of winning Sam's heart dwindling. "Under Capricorn" is a tangled tale of love, desperation, and redemption set against the rugged backdrop of 19th-century Australia. This captivating narrative will take you on a wild journey through uncharted territories of the human heart where power, deceit, and love battle under the watchful eyes of the Capricorn.
