Courage of one's convictions

Under Capricorn

(1949)

Period piece set in New South Wales, 1831, shows some promise early on with Hitchcock regulars Jo Cotten and Ingrid Bergman as a sort of Heathcliff and desalinated Cathy (and, from a different story, Margaret Leighton as a heterosexual Mrs. Danvers), but Michael Wilding is far too simpy to suffice as the Other Man, and the story gets bogged down for about the last, oh, 6 or 7 hours.
