Rex Harrison is the orchestra conductor who believes his wife has been having an affair. While conducting, he plans various forms of revenge, each played out with the greatest of precision and skill. When it comes to putting his plans into action, things run a little less smoothly.
The first writer-director, Preston Sturges took Hollywood by storm during the 1940s, creating some of the sharpest comedies of the era, filled with killer dialogue and moments of wit and invention unequalled today.
