Jane Broadbent (Sandra Dee) has come to stay with her father Jimmy (Rex Harrison) in London for the summer. Her stepmother Sheila (Kay Kendall) insists on introducing her into society and interfering. Jane is taken with American drummer David Parkson (John Saxon) who has a bad reputation while she's being pursued by David Fenner who is perfect on paper. Nosy socialite Mabel Claremont (Angela Lansbury) is a family friend and has her own daughter Clarissa.
Fenner is too over-the-top as the British upper class twit. I would suggest dialing it back a couple of notches. David and Jimmy have a good meet-cute. I wouldn't mind transferring the drum talk over to Jane. This is rather light fare. The drama is not the most dramatic. It's closer to sitcom. The only true villain is Mabel and her goals are aligned with Jane. The only possible stake is whether Jimmy would get frustrated with social status obsessed Sheila. There's no way Jane would ever end up with Fenner.
