What happens

Bella Donna is a 1934 British drama film directed by Robert Milton and starring Conrad Veidt, Mary Ellis and Cedric Hardwicke. The film is based on the 1909 novel Bella Donna by Robert Hichens which had previously been made into a 1923 American silent film Bella Donna starring Pola Negri. A further American adaptation Temptation starring Merle Oberon was produced in 1946. The film's art direction was by James A. Carter. It was made at Twickenham Studios. It is still extant unlike a number of Twickenham's productions from the decade. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
