The movie begins with Flaubert (played by James Mason) at trial for a disgusting book. The rest of the movie is devoted to Madame Bovary. She starts out innocent but then she gets herself involved in a few affairs. As well she gets his family into financial ruin. Jennifer Jones does a good job in the title role. Van Heflin also does an impressive job as the husband we're sorry for. I'm going to read the book soon.
