The dazzling success of Glenn in sales and with young Scandinavian girls is a source of irritation to Denis, who is, as yet, an abysmal flop as a salesman and in his approaches to the feminist Jennifer. But all this could change if Denis can just pull-off the big sale with one Mr Rackemann ...

Forty Minutes... of documentary
A series of films portraying issues, institutions and individuals.

Despite everything, the finishing school is alive and well and mainly to be found in Switzerland. Some 400 monuments to Swiss finishing skill exist in this Alpine paradise.
The most famous perhaps is the Institut Videmanette in Rougemont. For it was here that the future Princess of Wales completed her education. But high in esteem is the Institut Villa Pierrefeu that looks down on Montreux. Here some 24 young ladies are 'finished' at a cost to their parents of nearly £15,000 a year.
Finishing involves not only the learning of French, but also the mysteries of protocol, etiquette, floral art, precedence at table, haute cuisine, styles of furniture and decoration, couture, and all the skills necessary if a girl has the good fortune to 'marry someone who is someone'. The finishing of three English girls, Sarah, Francesca and Natalie, is the subject of this documentary film.
