The House of Mirth is a 2000 drama film written and directed by Terence Davies. An adaptation of Edith Wharton's 1905 novel The House of Mirth, the film stars Gillian Anderson. It is an international co-production between the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States. The "misleading title", derived from a phrase in the Old Testament, was used by newspapers for an insurance scandal of 1905.
