The Reluctant Debutante

on BBC One London

starring Rex Harrison, Kay Kendall
with John Saxon, Sandra Dee, Angela Lansbury

Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall make a delightful comedy partnership in a film adapted from the long-running stage success by William Douglas Home.
As Jimmy and Sheila Broadbent part of the British 'upper crust' they get involved in a series of scatty situations through Sheila's attempts to launch Jimmy's teenage daughter into high society.
Sandra Dee is daughter Jane and Angela Lansbury makes an impact as an overpowering 'deb's mum.'
