A young British woman is engaged to the boring Cedric but instead falls in love with the lower-class, and quite ripping, George. Her aunt decides to distract her by taking her on trips to Italy and India. Will love triumph over stuffiness? A parody of such upper-crust classics as A PASSAGE TO INDIA and A ROOM WITH A VIEW.

Reviews for Stiff Upper Lips
The upper lips aren't the only things that are stiff in this broad British comedy--so are most of the jokes.
Eric Idle's Merchant Ivory farce is bound to be better tarted up, but this is a good start, as is Le Divorce.
Merely proves that feeble, witless jokes will flop no matter how grand the setting.
