John Marsh's Millions
Produced by Annie McGuire
"John Marsh's Millions" by Charles Klein and Arthur Hornblow is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the dynamics of wealth, deceit, and familial relationships in New York society, particularly focusing on the titular character John Marsh and his brother Jimmy after John's unexpected death. The narrative expresses the tensions created by social status and financial aspirations, introducing a cast of characters whose lives are profoundly impacted by inheritance and secrets. The opening of the novel sets the stage with John's death, unveiling the stark contrast between the virtuous John and his morally bankrupt brother, Jimmy. Following John's passing, a sense of anticipation swells around the inheritance, igniting old tensions and highlighting Jimmy's long history of waiting for his brother to die in order to inherit a fortune. As the story unfolds, the reader is introduced to the various players affected by this wealth, including cousins with ulterior motives and the emerging figure of Paula Marsh, John’s daughter, thrust into a world of intrigue as she arrives to claim her rightful inheritance, potentially undermining Jimmy's desires. The narrative hints at an impending conflict and the challenges of a new female heir navigating familial expectations and societal norms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
