- Synopsis:
- The Drossmouth repertory company have been given the arduous task of performing the play 'Tarnished Gold'. Even to Derwent Blacker (Robert Morley) the producer, the play seems impossible, but they must at least try! What alters the proceedings is the arrival of the author Catherine Beckwith (Margaret Rutherford), who brings with her some very specific and impractical ideas on how she wishes her masterpiece to be performed. Blacker struggles to direct dress rehearsals as the interfering author, tempermental actors and mocking stagehands combine to undermine his efforts and as the company near the first performance who will have the final say?
