With Anton Rodgers, Lucy Gutteridge, Julian Holloway, Rosalind Ayres.
When Sophie, the manicurist, learns that her best friend Muriel is to be married to the notorious and middle-aged Lord Quex, she determines to prevent it by exposing him for the despicable roué he is.

Adapted from the play by the British writer Arthur Wing Pinero.Read More »
