...Dimitri, summering at Yalta, meets Anna, a sad-faced beauty who promenades every day along the quay with her little white spitz, Ralph. Dimitri has a wife, a pince-nezed intellectual, back in Moscow; Anna's husband is a foppish flunky in Saratov.

The joke, written in this case by George Bernard Shaw, was a 1936 profiteer-jerker that parodied the plight of those who have money and think it will buy anything. In this revival, Director Anthony Asquith makes a parody of the parody, and where the play becomes too talky, he has the good sense to decree that the Shaw must not go on.
