In this tale, Grant is, surprisingly, not the main focus of attention. The film centers on two members of British aristocracy – Victor (Grant) and Hilary (Deborah Kerr), who live in a great house, but only live in part of it – most of it is roped off for guided tours to help pay the bills. An oil tycoon (Robert Mitchum) takes a liking to Hilary, and the two begin an affair. Meanwhile, Victor’s ex-girlfriend Hattie (Jean Simmons), wants to rekindle their spark while his wife is out and about with her new, oily paramour. When the four then stay in the house together for a period, the secrets come out and life gets increasingly complicated.

Quite remarkably, Grant's distinctive screen persona took shape without the help of the studio's publicity machine. He gave his best performances when he was on his own: "The Awful Truth", "Bringing Up Baby," and "His Girl Friday," all made after 1937.
