Press release:
Based on personal letters and biographies, the film charts the story of Ms. Du Maurier’s unrequited passion for the beautiful and glamorous American heiress, Ellen Doubleday and how the play she wrote about this forbidden desire, led her to a life-changing love affair with the irreverent, fun-loving actress Gertrude Lawrence after an introduction by Noel Coward in New York.
