The Widow from Monte Carlo is a 1936 American comedy film directed by Arthur Greville Collins and starring Warren William, Dolores del Río, Louise Fazenda and Colin Clive.[1] It was based on the play A Present from Margate by Ian Hay and A.E.W. Mason.[2] It was shot at Warner Brothers's Burbank Studios with sets designed by the art director Hugh Reticker.
Inez, the widowed Duchess of Rye, heads to Monte Carlo to escape her dull restrictive life. While there she meets Major Allan Chepstow, but later becomes engaged to a diplomat who her relatives are keen for her to marry. Impulsively Inez accepts an offer by Chepstow to join him at the seaside resort of Margate. Back in London Rose Torrent, the socially ambitious wife of a wealthy marmalade magnate, discovers about the visit and attempts to blackmail Inez into attending one of her parties. Eventually Chepstow and Inez decide to leave for Canada to start a new life together.
