Story Synopsis

Based on the biography “The Honest Courtesan” by Margaret Rosenthal, Catherine McCormack stars in Dangerous Beauty as the beautiful, but impoverished Veronica Franco, a young woman who lives in 16th century Venice. Her heart yearns for the wealthy Marco Venier (Rufus Sewell), but because she can never wed the nobleman, she becomes a courtesan to the rich and powerful, softening her heartbreak while instilling pangs of jealousy in her refuted lover. Her unconstrained wits and poetic gift give her notoriety among the nobles, until the Inquisition denounces her with charges of witchcraft.
