“Broadway's howling year-run comedy hit of the snooty society beauty who slipped and fell - IN LOVE!”

ComedyRomance

When a rich woman's ex-husband and a tabloid-type reporter turn up just before her planned remarriage, she begins to learn the truth about herself.

This film feels like sipping champagne in a grand manor, sparkling with quick-fire banter and sophisticated charm. It's an effervescent dance of wit and romance, exploring identity and the complexities of love with a mischievous, playful spirit. Utterly glamorous and endlessly engaging.
