Chris Wilton was on the professional
tennis circuit but he felt he wasn’t skilled enough to be a winner. He has the good looks and charm plus the
references to become an instructor at a posh London tennis club. This is a good opportunity for him to
improve his game but not tennis.
He’s looking to meet wealthy men and women to improve his social and
financial status. Tom Hewett
begins taking lessons, Chris thoroughly charms Tom and he introduces him to his
family. Chloe, Tom’s sister is
also very taken with Chris. The
stepping-stones are beginning to line up with only one snag. Tom is engaged to aspiring actress Nola
Rice. There aren’t enough
adjectives to describe the beauty of Nola.
Chris is making all the right decisions except for
Nola, will he be willing to jeopardize all his work and plans for her? What about her engagement to Tom? How can he get around that fact? Very interesting, unexpected
developments, keeps your interest entirely until the end. 4* (I really liked this movie)
