1950's England. Nigel, the eligible earl Of Marshwood, announces his engagement to the beautiful Miranda Frayle. Nigel's mother takes the news with a stiff upper lip but privately she's appalled to hear her son and heir is to marry, of all things, a Hollywood actress! On the other side of the Atlantic meanwhile, Miranda's ex, movie star Don Lucas, toasts the happy couple with a bottle of Jack Daniels before setting off for England determined to reclaim the love of his life...

With an all-star cast including Julie Andrews, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Sophie Thompson and Stephen Fry, 'Relative Values' is a knowing and comical look at that great English obsession: class!
