French Without Tears

Synopsis

A comedy in three acts

This comedy by the author of Separate Tables and The Winslow Boy premiered in London with Rex Harrison, Trevor Howard and Jessica Tandy in the cast.

At a villa on the South Coast of France, a group of young men are being coached in French by a gentleman and his daughter, Jacqueline.

Learning French is hard, but the experience is made easier by the presence of the glamorous Diana Lake who proceeds to charm the boys one-by-one until she decamps back to London leaving the forlorn suitors to the willing Jacqueline.
