Easy Virtue

The twenties have roared. The thirties have yet to swing. John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita, a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously. However, when the couple returns to the family home, John's mother, Mrs. Whittaker, has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law. Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law. Larita quickly realises Mrs. Whittaker’s game and sees that she must fight back if she’s not going to lose John.

A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly. Mrs. Whittaker manipulates every situation to undermine Larita, while Larita remains frustratingly calm and engineers devious counter-attacks.
