Storyline
| Plot Summary |
It is early 1939 in Poland when Mrs. Bromley and Jennifer come to buy antiques for her business in London. Jennifer meets Count Stephen and they wine, dine and see the sights though out the city. He wishes to marry, but his family is against plain Jennifer. When she tries to leave, he catches her at the train station and they are married. To be self sufficient, they modernize the family farm with tractors and increase production, but then Germany starts the war.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Count Stefan takes Jennifer on a walking tour of Warsaw. As they walk, stock footage is shown of various important monuments, culminating in the bronze statue of Chopin by sculptor Waclaw Szymanowski. These monuments were all systematically destroyed by the Germans in 1940. See more » |
| Goofs | At the ballet, Count Stefan and others in his box use the opera glasses to look down at Jennifer in the audience below. The first shot through the glasses shows her not looking straight up at Count Stefan, but to her right, even though they have acknowledged each other. In subsequent shots through the glasses, the perspectives are far too low and to the front of Jennifer to be from the box above. See more » |

Count Pawel Orwid:
[at the ballet]
Stefan, when I was a young man, I came for the ballerinas. Later on I came for the music. Now I come to sit. See more » |
