Wings of the Dove (1997)

I saw this movie a few days back. It is an old film, and well worth watching. I particularly liked all the scenes in Venice, Italy.

The story tells about a young recently turned rich woman and her love for a young struggling idealist journalist. He is cute, she is pretty. Apart from the fact that they may live on the verge of poverty, they have everything going for them. After all, all you need is love like the Beatles song says.

Tis not to be though. A young heiress enters the scene and she falls in love with Kate Croy's Merton Densher. A sad and twisted plan is plotted; and no one is left happy in the end.

I wonder what the most optimal solution would have been in this case?
