On Approval

In this charming and witty British romantic comedy, two impoverished aristocrats, George, 10th Duke of Bristol, and his friend Richard Halton, find themselves caught up in a series of misadventures when they are invited to spend a month with two wealthy widows, Maria Wislack and Helen Hale, as part of an unconventional "trial marriage" experiment. As the unlikely foursome navigates love, compatibility, and social expectations, hilarity ensues, led by the razor-sharp wit of Beatrice Lillie as Maria, in a film that affectionately skewers Victorian societal norms and boasts a light touch that belies its sharp comedic insights.
