ComedyDramaRomance104 min
Former housemaid Jane Hoskins is reinventing herself as the elegant Lady Loverly, fleecing the rich alongside an English gentleman thief who knows every trick of high society. Greer Garson is Jane, all polish and calculation beneath the new title, with Michael Wilding as the partner helping her pass through drawing rooms, hotels, and country estates without raising suspicion. As their confidence game heads toward a major job in California, a stay in a wealthy San Francisco household begins to tangle business with romance, and the pair’s carefully managed scheme starts to slip.
