Gay Butterworth’s aunt dies and the inheritance goes to her. However, her husband Pelham finds another version of the will in which she only gets the interest on the capital, forcing them to rent out rooms in their house to pay off their debts. Then Gay comes up with the idea of divorcing Pelham, which would allow her to inherit all the money and they try and decide which tenant he should have an affair with to spark off the divorce.

Poster art by Renato Fratini (1932 – 1973). An Italian commercial artist who specialised in cinema posters. In Italy he worked in Augusto Favalli’s studio, a major producer of Italian posters. He then moved to London at the behest of Eric Pulford, who ran the Downton agency, which had accounts with Rank and several other film companies. There Fratini enjoyed a successful career throughout the 1960s.
