A Rather English Marriage
Two bereaved Englishmen, Reggie, an ex-RAF pilot and Roy, a former milkman, try to rebuild their lives. Reggie falls for glamorous boutique-owner, Liz. But for her, is it love or Reggie's money that holds allure? Present day story is interspersed with flashbacks to the widowers' earlier courting days in dance halls and RAF bars.
