Detailed item info | Movie description | Dame Andrews plays the aristocratic matriarch of an upper class British family whose eldest son (Atterton) causes an uproar when he announces his engagement to Miranda (Tripplehorn), a Hollywood starlet. The family is even more appalled when it is learned that she is the sister of the house maids. Luckily, Mr. Baldwin shows up from Hollywood to profess his love for Miranda and to try and woo her away from the English Lord and his stuffy family. An extremely witty farce, adapted from a play by the inimitable Noel Coward.
