You're never too old to chance romance!

Celebrated author Sir Cecil Warburton (Rex Harrison - My Fair Lady) is thrilled to read the obituary of an old rival, the dull and respectable man who married Lady Evelyn (Wendy Hiller - Separate Tables), the lovely girl he once kissed - and should have married himself - fifty years ago.

Desirous of female companionship and feeling that this is his last chance to live life to the full, Sir Cecil is determined to woo and marry Evelyn before it's too late. With singleness of purpose on his side and his devoted, but dubious butler Hawkins (Cyril Cusack - Far And Away), at his back, Sir Cecil sets his sights on the unsuspecting Lady Evelyn - who is in for the courtship of her life!
