Unenigmatic toff Ralph Forbes (John) brings his actress wife-to-be Ruth Chatterton (Elsie) to his country home where his family have gathered to convince him that the relationship is unhealthy. What can an actress possibly bring to an upper class family tradition? It can only lower the status of the family. Forbes has announced the up-coming marriage to the press and the family are furious. Basil Rathbone (Edward) is one of those in attendance and he gets the hots for Chatterton. Uh-oh, more complications....
Unfortunately, this film is boring. The only cast member to come off well is uncle Frederick Kerr (Lord Trench) who cranks up the comedy with his line delivery and is genuinely funny in a rude, abrupt sot of way. A good role model. Sadly, he died 3 years later in real life. And that fact that I have just said is way more interesting than anything about this film.
