Private Lives

Divorced lovers land in adjacent honeymoon suites on a glorious evening on the Riviera igniting a timeless battle of the sexes. A comic masterpiece and the epitome of glamour and whip-smart wit. Sophisticated, urbane and as hilariously catty as they come.

“an enduring marriage of wit and lust””
“one of the funniest comedies of the 20th century”The New York Times
