Movie Description
An expatriate American doctor in London allows herself to lighten up when her freewheeling younger sister and a mysterious man enter her life. Her inhibitions released, the beautiful doctor learns that freedom has its own price.
Synopsis
Dr. Lillian Hemphill is an American in London where she's been practicing medicine for 12 years. She lives a solemn and organized life unlike her irresponsible younger sister, Amy. While on vacation in Portugal, Lillian meets Raymond Forbes, a handsome, seemingly well-to-do gentleman who wines-and-dines her persistently. At home, they continue dating, eventually becoming live-in-lovers. It isn't until after they're married and Raymond mysteriously disappears that Lillian discovers his hidden secrets: a wife and child he previously abandoned. Her orderly life is further complicated by the British government's health service cutbacks. But Lillian is resilient. She and Amy manage to overcome their bad relationships with men and rebuild their friendship in the process.
