Though the story may seem old-fashioned, the ending is not. The lesson is as old as the world - respect for women. The final decision the woman has to make is a brave and a classic one. She loves because she respects herself, she leaves her family for the same reason, she too eventually discards her would-be-husband for the same reason again. This is a great moral story and it is interesting how such a strong story makes up for any other weakness of the film.
