CGiii Comment

Wendy Hiller playing a butch lesbian...not a good idea.

Directed by a director who is more comfortable with shabby soft-porn.

This is a catastrophe of self-indulgence...insulting to all those who watch and to those who took part.

The(ir) Blurb...

When an elderly man dies, some of his relatives gather to hear the reading of the will. When it is read by his attorney, the old man lets it be known how much he despised and loathed his worthless kin. As a result, his will is structured in such a way as to set up a dogfight between his potential heirs as to who will collect his fortune.
