Life in an English bed and breakfast where the eccentric guests all have one common trait – loneliness. There's Major Pollack (an Oscar winning David Niven) who hides a dark secret behind a polished military veneer; Sibyl Railton-Bell (Deborah Kerr), a shy, neurotic old maid who lacks the courage to break away from her domineering mother. John Malcolm (Burt Lancaster), a disenchanted writer who drowns his bitterness in a pool of alcohol; and Ann Shankland (Rita Hayworth), whose narcissism masks a deep fear of growing old alone and unloved. In one emotional evening, these four emotional misfits will bare their innermost secrets... and change each others' lives forever. Based on the Terence Rattigan play.
