Guests at a scavenger hunt party in London are challenged to find a faithful married man and a chaste woman over 20. They catch respected MP Sir Christopher Strong and adventurous aviator Lady Cynthia Darrington, who soon embark on an illicit affair. Arzner’s cutting interrogation of monogamy cemented Hepburn’s star status. It also features a fantastic moth costume designed by Walter Plunkett and a rich musical score by Max Steiner.
