Based on the play by Noel Coward, which was first adapted by Alfred Hitchcock during the silent era, the film is the epitome of British wit and offers all the delights of wicked, high-toned comedy. Larita, the American, is a Jazz Age race-car driver. After impulsively tying the knot in Monte Carlo with a young Englishman, she travels to England to meet her groom’s privileged and batty family. Naturally, they hate her. John’s mother his sisters do their best to sabotage the newlyweds and banish their brother’s shocking new wife. Only in the family’s patriarch, Mr. Whittaker, does the young bride find acceptance, and the two develop a bond founded on their mutual appreciation for motorbikes and flouting social etiquette.
