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 fianceĢe 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.
