This lion made of aspic should be the highlight of a dinner held for some British aristocrats. Not only does this lion get dropped on the ground and is destroyed but the British aristocrats also cancel their appearance. So Millicent, who organizes the dinner at her home, is at the verge of a nervous breakdown and has to cope with a man who smells Oklahoma. Actually her husband has a breakdown due to cardiac insuffiency. The film we’re looking for has an all-star cast but didn’t receive any Academy Award nominations when it was released.
