The Truth About Women

  • 1957 film

To a husband unable to understand his wife, an old gentleman recounts romantic passages in his life: his first love, a "fast" girl, an adventure in the East, a romance in Paris, a title-seeking American, an artist and a nurse. Finally, how he married his wife. Stars Laurence Harvey, Julie Harris, Diane Cilento, Mai Zetterling, Eva Gabor and more.

The Truth About Women

Taking his son-in-law to one side for a quiet chat about marital strife, Sir Humphrey listens to the young man's tale of woe and offers reassurance that he is not the first to be baffled by the foibles of women - ably illustrating his point by recounting some rather sticky moments when he too was on the verge of giving up all hope of comprehending the feminine sex...

A lavishly designed, witty and touching film featuring a magnificent cast, The Truth About Women stars Laurence Harvey as the younger Sir Humphrey, with Julie Harris, Eva Gabor, Mai Zetterling and Diane Cilento among the women he has loved and lost. Directed by Oscar-winner Muriel Box and featuring sumptuous cinematography by Otto Heller and costume design by Cecil Beaton, the film is presented here in a brand new digital transfer, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

First released: Monday 16th November 2015
