This episode of the millionaire focuses on Katherine Boland (Agnes Moorehead), the top debutante of 1928, who wants to repeat that event by doing the same for her niece Tuesday Weld who has been her Ward since her parents died. When she is given the check, she decides that she must try to recapture from of her old glory by doing the same for Weld, and hopefully bring back some of the family prestige as well, that lost in the stock market crash. Surprising that she has been able to keep her house, but it still looks like something that is frozen in time from 1929. Moorehead of course is always mesmerizing to watch, and makes her character charming even if she is a pretentious phony. Weld must work double time to keep up with Moorhead, and even then, she doesn't compare. But she's a romantic heroine, in love with a student whom the aunt does not approve of. Lighthearted and frivolous, this wouldn't be as good if it had someone not as a legendary as Moorehead in the lead.
