Compulsive gambler, Sir Giles Staverley is tricked into gambling away his home by his old adversary Lord Harry Wrotham. As Staverley is distraught and desperate, Wrotham gives him one last chance - he will gamble everything Staverley has lost against Staverley's daughter's hand in marriage and her trust fund of 80,000 guineas. Staverley agress and loses once again, but unable to face his daughter, Serena, he kills himself. Lord Justin Vulcan, a notoriously cold, clear headed gambler challenges Wrotham for the house and the girl and, much to Wrotham's disgust, wins. Justin now finds himself in... possession of the house and Serena, but has no idea of what to do with them. After meeting Serena and realising that she is much younger and more beautiful than he had imagined, he installs her as a guest at Mandrake, his family home, despite the hatred of Justin's mother, Lady Harriet Vulcan. As Lady Vulcan attempts to marry Serena off to anyone except her son, Serena and Justin become friends and he teaches her about Mandrake, the home he loves. A crisis forces Serena and Justin to confront their feelings for each other. Can the course of true love run smooth for them?

The previous review of this film was very vague as to the content of this performance. Ultimately its because it's so traditional and the synopsis above makes for an accurate description which is a man who has a gambling problem (Christopher Plumber) and gambles his daughter at a card game. He loses to Edward Fox, who plays the rogue in this film.
Things take a turn for the worse when a third party takes interest in his daughter and 'saves her' from the evil clutches of Edward Fox. The third party has a mother (Diana Rigg) and it very very very jealous of her son taking an interest in Helen Bonham Carter.
Performances by Edward Fox and Diana Rigg in particular are...
Romantic Sunday
I thought this was sad but great! A real sunday afternoon film, while the husband's out with the kids, and you fancy a bit of old fashion romance, chilvary, and gallantry, not forgetting a good bottle of wine; perfect!
