Clara in The Rich House is lost in thoughts after watching the film Camille, since she longs for a man as loving as the heroine's who would make her life complete. This 1936 Greta Garbo vehicle is likely to be the film in question. In Camille, Parisian courtesan Marguerite basks in her lavish life supported by a baron who covets her beauty. Meanwhile, she happens on the dashing young man Armand who passionately chases after her. Caught between love and greed, Marguerite rides an emotional rollercoaster before meeting her tragic fate…… The original novel by Alexandre Dumas fils has been one of the most-adapted works in cinema, and The Rich House is a makeover by Hong Kong filmmakers.
