Quick Synopsis
Archduke Alexander, played by Clive Brook, is known more for his numerous romantic affairs than for his achievements in diplomacy. Throughout his life, he has been involved with many women but never stayed with any of them for long. However, his attitude changes when he meets Judith Peredy, a Hungarian woman portrayed by Billie Dove. Although Judith initially resists Alexander's attempts to win her over, she eventually reveals that she has fallen in love with him. The film, The Yellow Lily, marks the second collaboration between actress Billie Dove and director Alexander Korda.
