Still, if one cannot have pre-Christian Rome, contemporary London will do. Sunning himself in a graveyard one afternoon, Sloane is taken in-in every sense-by Kath (Beryl Reid). She is a bloated harpy who will never need silicone or estrogen. Enter two gentlemen who provide complications and multiply laughter. Kath's father Dadda (Alan Webb) is a senescent buzzard; her brother Ed (Harry Andrews) is a lantern-jawed caricature...
