This hare-brained tale is set in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1959. A newly arrived English widow has a very delicate disclosure to make to her brand new beau – and she arranges for an Etiquette Expert to help her down this tricky path. At first it starts out well but soon things get out of hand – four solid doors are slammed, drinks are tossed, identities are mistaken – and the action moves at a very tidy clip. These are eccentric people in eccentric situations and the dialogue peels off like a 1940’s cocktail party – frightfully polite but with Oscar Wildly twists.
