没过多久，艾玛就识破了查理的谎言，明白自己其实是被后者无情的抛弃了。绝望和愤怒之中，她决定嫁给一直对自己很好的汉密尔顿，可是这段仓促的婚姻很显然并不能给艾玛带来真正的幸福。一天，艾玛结识了名为尼尔森（维克特·凡科尼 Victor Varconi 饰）的军官，为了能够让尼尔森在港口同拿破仑的军队交战，艾玛不惜抛头露面四处奔走，一来二去之间，两人相爱了。 A partly fictionalized account of history begins with the arrival of slatternly Emma Hart, a cook's daughter, at the home of Charles Greville. Greville takes her as his lover and grooms her until their relationship becomes an inconvenience. Greville then dupes Emma into traveling to Naples to live with his uncle, Lord Hamilton, ambassador to the court at Naples. Realizing that Greville has abandoned her, Emma agrees to marry Lord Hamilton. Soon, however, she meets Admiral Horatio Nelson of the British Navy. Emma plays a crucial role in convincing Naples to open its ports to Nelson during his campaign against Napoleon's French fleet. Soon, Emma and the married Nelson become romantically involved -- a relationship which will have consequences for them both.

默片时代对演技要求相应的会高。女主面部表情变化很微妙。最典型的就是与纳尔逊初见，从客气到抗拒再到暗送秋波，女主都表达得很到位，加上天生一副梨花带雨的样子，真是太合适不过了。
当年的浪漫题材，可以媲美如今的韩剧。此片不只是Emma逆袭成救国英雄，还有她的三段感情。剪辑和画面构图都可圈可点，电影插曲也颇为讲究，女主演技也不赖。故事背景是18世纪的英国，当时的社会历史决定了二人不能大团圆，只好把男主写死，相对合理地满足了20世纪观众的要求。可以当作女性研究范本。
#Emma终究是Emma，而不是Cinderella…And There Couldn't Be A Happy Ending For Her# Corinne Griffith属于那种不需说话光在那儿傻站着都会有人买票看的默片女星…（上传过程又重看了一遍，简直不要比我记忆中的好太多） P.S. 现在听Loch Lomond真的很想哭…
只为Corinne Griffith唯美一幕
