Plot Summary[edit]
The following might be more accurate:
Leslie Steele (Merle Oberon), a guest at a costume party is forced to stay overnight in a London hotel because of bad weather. As there are no rooms left, the hotel tries to get guests to accept stranded partygoers in their rooms. Everard Logan (Laurence Olivier), a handsome but somewhat stiff lawyer, refuses to share his suite but Leslie slips in. They spend the night together, quite chastely, but Logan becomes convinced that Leslie, who will not give her name, must be married. His conviction is confirmed when Lord Mere (Ralph Richardson) arrives at his office and asks Everard to represent him in a divorce case against his wife, the notorious Lady Mere (Binnie Barnes), who was at the party and spent the night in somebody’s room at the hotel.

Copyright status[edit]
I have deleted the link to the illicit hosting of this British film on Internet Archive. Scenario writer Ian Dalrymple did not die until 1989, so UK copyright subsists until the end of 2059. As a non-US film still under copyright in its country of origin on 1 January 1996, it is protected in the US for 95 years after publication, so to the end of 2033.
