English Without Tears

Joan Heseltine (Penelope Dudley-Ward), a member of a wealthy British clan, falls in love with her aunt’s family butler, Tom Gilbey (Michael Wilding), despite the impossibility of them making a match. When World War II breaks out, however, their situation changes drastically. Tom goes off to fight and returns as an army officer, which considerably raises his social status. Unfortunately, Joan’s heart appears to have moved on in Tom’s absence.
