What Is Sweet William About?
The premise of Sweet William without spoilers.
William McClusky (Sam Waterston) is a charismatic, eccentric Scotsman whose charm quickly sweeps the naïve Ann Walton (Jenny Agutter) off her feet. Ann soon realizes he is far from a one‑woman man. Still close to his two ex‑wives, William’s flirtatious nature draws the attention of virtually every woman he meets, including Ann’s friends.
