Plot

In The Last Rose of Summer Oliver Selwyn is a collector who woos Lotus Devine, but not for herself alone. The movie has been called "a melodramatic tale of a spinster betrayed for the sake of a valuable teaset". [3] Denis Gifford says "Collector feigns love for spinster to obtain her father’s tea service." [1]
