Carol Reed and Margaret Lockwood can't really go too far wrong, but at times it is touch and go with the adaptation of Emery Bonnett's rather feeble novel. She assumes the name of "Leslie" who has absconded from her Swiss finishing school and hooks up with "Gloria" (Renee Houston) and "Clytie" (Lilli Palmer) as a jobbing chorus line actress. Enter poor old Hugh Sinclair - the recent inheritor of the Earldom of Pangborough - and the three ladies decide that they must be the next Countess.
