What happens

The Wife of Monte Cristo is a 1946 American historical adventure film directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring John Loder, Lenore Aubert and Fritz Kortner. The film is yet another spiritual epic inspired by the novel The Count of Monte Cristo and features its protagonist Edmond Dantès. It was made and distributed by Producers Releasing Corporation, on a higher budget than was usual for the studio which focused on cheap second features. It was successful at the box office. The film takes the same name as an unofficial sequel novel to The Count of Monte Cristo, namely The Wife of Monte Cristo, published in 1884 and attributed to Dumas; however, the novel was actually the first book of a two-volume English translation of the novel, The Son of Monte Cristo, written by Jules Lermina in 1881.
