Amoeba Music

George, the 10th Duke of Bristol (Brook, Shanghai Express, Cavalcade) and his friend Richard (Culver, Thunderball, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp) are invited to spend a month at a Scottish mansion by the wealthy widows Maria (Lillie, Exit Smiling, Thoroughly Modern Millie) and Helen (Withers, The Lady Vanishes, Dead of Night), who wish to test their compatibility as suitors. The cash-strapped British aristocrats jump at the chance to take a vacation. But when the unmarried foursome arrives, the staff ��" shocked by the impropriety ��" refuses to stay and they are left entirely on their own. Will love blossom or will they drive each other crazy?

Written and directed by Brook and adapted from the play by Frederick Lonsdale, a hilarious and delightfully witty romance named one of Time magazine’s 10 best movies of 1944 and described by critics as “the funniest British light comedy ever made.”
