Details

You must really have pity on the poor fainting souls dear! Sitting by their telephones waiting waiting to be asked, eating their lovely hearts out. In a little sweat of excitement in their frocks!! Jane Wetherby is a handsome, manipulative widow. Her son, Philip, becomes engaged to Mary, the daughter of her old flame John Pomfret - himself a widower. Jane instigates a whispering campaign to halt the marriage. Is her son about to commit to an incestuous marriage with Mary? Will Jane rekindle her relationship with John? Will the children uncover their parents old affair? And what is Jane trying to hide? As the childish adults make pawns of their sensible children, and perhaps each other, the truth remains elusive. Does the ailing Arthur Morris hold the key?
