The Lady in Question

Highlights
Synopsis
A freewheeling satire of patriotic 1940’s thrillers like Notorious and Escape , The Lady in Question tells the suspenseful tale of Gertrude Garnet, the most glamorous concert pianist on the international stage.
When Gertrude tours Bavaria in 1940, a handsome American professor challenges her colossal self-absorption by engaging her aid in rescuing his mother from a Nazi prison.
Press Reviews

— New York Post
"Busch keeps the multi-layered joke afloat with extensive good humor, skill and wicked comic daring."
