Poor Woody knew he had to crank something out to keep him on track so he penned this pot boiler while make morning tea. The three principals are people I didn't care a brass farthing about. No sympathy for any of them. The old guy leaves his wife for the spunky secretary who is maybe in love with the mousey newby in town (glitzy 30's Hollywood)...yawn....then the second half back in London where it takes place mostly in a cafe where society congregates and therefore a movie title is born...yawn...So a couple of years later everyone connects again and we hope it doesn't go too far altho lust and passion and red roses intervene. Then one night the movie ends. Will it doesn't quite end, it just fades to black and credits roll so I guess it just stopped. Anticlimactic. All in all the cars and clothes are impressive and some nice hair styles and jewelry too but the story sucks.
