Synopsis: | Alice, daughter Annabel, son Derek and his wife, Pamela, arrive home from the funeral of Alice's husband. Andrew, solicitor, reads the will later and, attracted to Annabel, offers to help with insurance claims. In a room where the husband spent most evenings alone, he finds note books which read like a pornographic novel. To help Alice's finances, Andrew suggests a friend of his publishes them as by anonymous. The book is a success, changes everyone's lives and leads to a proposal for Alice from the film of the book's script writer, to whom she confesses she wrote it herself to try and get her husband back. . . though he obviously never read it. | |||||
