In 1870s New York, spinster heiress Catherine Sloper is courted by the much younger, penniless Morris Townsend, much to the chagrin of her overprotective father. Catherine must decide whether to spend the rest of her life alone, or marry a man interested in her solely for her inheritence.
Washington Square is a 1997 drama-romance film set in 1870s New York, following heiress Catherine Sloper as she navigates love, family pressure, and the question of whether her suitor truly cares for her or merely her fortune. Adapted from Henry James's classic novel, the film explores the tension between personal desire and paternal control in Gilded Age Manhattan.
