The story, which details the manners and morals of 19th century English society, follows the rise and fall of one Becky Sharp. Though a poor orphan, Becky has grand dreams -- and hopes that a good marriage will assure her fortune. In particular, she has her eye on Joseph Sedley, the wealthy brother of her best friend Amelia. But even the dull-witted Joseph realizes that his family would not smile upon such a union and so never proposes. Frustrated, Becky leaves the Sedley household where she has resided, and using her brains, beauty and charm, proceeds to claw her way into the upper class. But a crucial miscalculation nearly costs her everything...
Kodak Original Print is in excellent shape, black and white, and has No Vinegar Smell. Comes mounted on two 1600ft. reels.

Pictures above are all from the actual film being offered taken while the print was running on a projector. Film is much sharper than pictures indicate. Some pictures might be more out of focus than others due to the camera used NOT the actual print.
