Negative Positive
Title: Simply brilliant.
Review: The absolute epitome of the drawing room comedy. Sparkling, bright, and wonderfully stylish.Jane, a young American girl, visits her British father (Lord Broadbent) and his new wife. Lady Broadbent is goaded by her gossipy and competative cousin, Mabel Claremont, into formally presentating Jane to society (achieved by a relentless round of parties and dinners, capped by the standard presentation ball). Jane is bored by this tedious process, until she meets a handsome, American drummer. Sparks! There is plenty of action and misunderstandings that create all sorts of high jinks.Billiantly directed by Vincent Minnelli. Superbly acted by Kay Kendall (Lady Broadbent), Rex Harrison (Lord Broadbent), and Angela Landsbury (Mabel Claremont). And funny as heck - the ballroom gossip scene among the three principles is just priceless! Watch for Peter Myers, the actor who plays the character David Fenner. He plays the buffoon brilliantly.
