Overview
George and Catherine Apley of Boston lead a proper life in the proper social circle, as did the Apleys before them. When grown daughter Eleanor falls in love with Howard (from New York!), and son John with Myrtle (from Worcester!), the ordered life of the Apley home on Beacon Street is threatened, as is the hoped-for union of John and Apley-cousin Agnes.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gently satirical portrait of old-money Boston society clinging to its rigid social hierarchies as younger generations yearn to marry for love rather than lineage. It's a comedy about the collision between propriety and human desire, where the real threat isn't scandal but the simple fact that your children are their own people.
