DULCIMA - John Mills, Carol White (1971)

DULCIMA:

Set in rural England on a rundown Gloucestershire farm. Miserly and frisky farmer, Mr Parker, falls under the spell of a pitiful gold-digger
who comes to work for him. Dulcima Gaskain is tired of being used as a skivvy by her father George and is determined to escape her squalid
upbringing, so begins working as a housekeeper for the unkempt Parker.

The pair become lovers and Parker proposes, but a handsome young gamekeeper has caught the eye of Dulcima. Parker’s jealousy combined
with Dulcima’s deceitfulness ultimately leads to tragedy.
