Description

Victorian London. Sir Francis Leybourne is an aristocrat, city councillor, land baron, and businessman with interests in the far east. Like most aristocrats, more important for the married ones in needing refuge from one’s wife, widowed Sir Francis has a kept woman, Babette. What Sir Francis doesn’t know is that Babette is also sleeping with his estranged son, Walter Leybourne, their mission to get Walter back into Sir Francis’ will as his primary beneficiary. It is in the role of land baron that Sir Francis is approached by the Minister in charge to head the pilot on a new initiative: to open London’s first bordello.

starring David Hemmings, George Sanders, & Joanna Pettet
