Resumo

Martin Scorsese's film, 'The Age of Innocence' invites contempt rather than sympathy to its central character, Archer, whose complete self-absorption crushes the hopes of both women who loved him. An irresolute man who could not bring happiness to them nor himself betrays both women in the film.
