A Monte Carlo honeymoon becomes a gamble in Graham Greene’s
“superbly well told” comedy of love, marriage, and risk (J. B.
Priestley). A modest London accountant on a budget, Mr. Bertram has
settled on a honeymoon at the seaside resort of Bournemouth with his
fiancée, Cary. However, Bertram’s boss, the solicitous Herbert
Dreuther, won’t hear of anything so common. Bertram and Cary are to
be married in Monte Carlo, after which they’ll be Dreuther’s
guests on his private yacht and sail down the coast of Italy. It
sounds too lovely to be true. And surely Bertram can afford one night
at the Hôtel de Paris. But when the absentminded Dreuther fails to
show, and days turn into weeks, Bertram and Cary find themselves well
beyond their means. Unable to check out, trapped in luxury, and with
nowhere to turn but the casino, Bertram has a plan—and absolutely no
idea what there is left to lose.
