For the first time ever, an oil boom has come to an established British city. Aberdeen is proud to boast that it was a University town at the time England only had Oxford and Cambridge. One in four Aberdonians works in the fishing industry. Today there are new riches to be won from the sea - oil rigs are being towed from all over the world to take part in what is being called the greatest oil search ever. Oilmen promise Aberdeen the rewards of a boom town -new jobs, new investment and perhaps even the sort of bonanza that made Texas rich. Many Aberdonians welcome the prospectors with open arms but some are more cautious, especially trawler owners and local conservationists. Is there room for the new boom and the old life style both to survive?

The last of four films based on the works of Oscar Wilde - playwright, wit and raconteur.
This Hollywood film version of Wilde's play "Lady Windermere's Fan" opens in post-World War II London where the elderly Mrs Erlynne interrupts an auction sale to claim ownership of an exquisite fan, and then recalls the history of the fan from the day, at the turn of the century, when Lord Windermere bought it as a present for his wife.
Otto Preminger cast mainly British-born actors for this highly individual adaptation.
