Henry James (2018)
Henry James's "The Outcry" presents an effervescent comedy centered on wealth and social customs. The narrative follows Breckenridge Bender, a wealthy American resembling J.P. Morgan, who travels to England seeking significant art acquisitions. His attention is drawn to Dedborough, the estate of the financially troubled Lord Theign. A conflict arises when a young art connoisseur challenges the valuation of a prominent painting in Lord Theign's collection, suggesting it is a rarer and more valuable piece than previously believed.
