The Divine Lady

How does a woman of low birth end up at the center of the British Empire's most talked-about scandal? Emma Hart (Corinne Griffith) rises into society as Lady Hamilton, wife of the ambassador Sir William Hamilton (H.B. Warner), until her affair with Admiral Horatio Nelson (Victor Varconi) unsettles the whole country. Frank Lloyd made it silent, with a synchronized score and sound effects, and its subject is a love the Empire would not forgive.
