Sommario/riassunto

"I hope I shan't meet you one day in Piccadilly with a painted face, just because you must have linen sheets"  A beautiful young man is forced to choose between the love of his fiancée and the lifestyle of his male mentor.  This is the infamous comedy of manipulation that, in 1934, made a leading Broadway star of Laurence Olivier, opposite his then-wife Jill Esmond. The Green Bay Tree (1933) was a scandalous hit in the West End and on Broadway.
