Overview

Because of their "new money" background, four American girls have difficulty breaking into the upper-crust society of New York. Laura Testvalley, the governess of one of the girls, suggests a London season and thus the young women set sail for England and the unsuspecting English aristocracy. In England, all the girls soon find eligible husbands and the youngest girl, Nan, seems to land the best husband of them all: the handsome and very wealthy Julius, Duke of Trevennick. The girls soon discover that English upper-class men are not at all what they expected and hoped for.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A witty, sprawling portrait of ambition and disillusionment as four American women navigate the rigid expectations of London society and aristocratic marriage. The series captures both the glitter of high-society seduction and the hollowness lurking beneath it.
