Movie Description To mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of famous Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, Warner Home Video is releasing film and television versions of Shaw's plays. In HEARTBREAK HOUSE, retired British naval officer Captain Shotover tries to maintain control of his household as his two daughters flirt with their young friends. A social critique disguised as a romantic comedy, Shaw's witty play (this television adaptation first appeared in 1977) displays the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie in the time just prior to World War I.
