Produced by Martyn C. Webster
Kate Markham and Milly Drake, friends since they were at school, are now, in their different ways, successful American novelists. Kate is a stylist, Milly has grown rich on the proceeds of many trifling novels, but Milly is still Kate's best friend. Milly likes to manage people, particularly her daughter Deirdre; and conflict is inevitable when she resents Deirdre's affection for Kate.
