This is by Dumas fils (the son), not Dumas pere. Entertaining but highly melodramatic Parisian soap opera about a 19th century courtesan. The story, which eventually became Verdi's opera La Traviata is "loosely" based on the author's real life story of his passionate lover affair with a famous courtesan.
