Description |
Believing it his mission in life to make women happy by showering them with love, Norman makes the most of every opportunity to seduce his sister-in-law Annie, charm his brother-in-law's wife Sarah and woo his wife Ruth during a disastrous weekend of squabbling, eating, drinking and fondling. Table Manners: the events as seen from the dining room; Living Together: the events as seen from the sitting room; and Round and Round the Garden: the events as seen from the garden. |
