Synopsis

Timothy Westerby is overworked, underpaid and stressed out – and his daughter Judy is getting married in what he considers an overly lavish and expensive ceremony.

Ripe for a nervous breakdown, he finally has one on the morning of the wedding, when he hits his head and meets Polly, a gorgeous young woman who finds him irresistible.

Trouble is, Polly is just a hallucination!

Convinced that Polly is real, Timothy delights in welcoming the alluring guest to Judy's wedding.

Meanwhile, he and his wife, Ursula – who is less than thrilled over Timothy's obsession with Polly – contend with a host of complications and a barrage of colorful guests.

Press Reviews

— London Daily Mail

"A fiendishly clever farce that gets madder and funnier as it goes along... Has pace, precision and wit."
— London Daily Mirror
