The romantic travails within an English family provide the basis of this remake of Les Parents Terribles. It all begins as a young man finds himself falling in love with his father's mistress, causing his mother to fear that she lose both her husband and her son. When the father finds out about his son's love for the mistress, he gallantly gives her up. Meanwhile, an enamored aunt sees that family peace and harmony is restored. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
