He turns out to be an American millionaire called "Delacro" (Robert Mitchum) and he's quite a charmer. So much so that he kind of sweeps her off her feet, and though her husband's arrival cools things for a time, pretty soon she has travelled to London ostensibly to see her hairdresser and to meet her wacky pal "Hattie" (Jean Simmons), but well...
