Spoilers ahead
Lord Terence Datchett, Stewart Granger, believes women are vain, trivial and dull. He is irritated when French film star Colette Marly, Edwige Feuillère, arrives in London and takes the table in a restaurant where he wanted to sit. He is scathing of her claims in the newspaper that she is tired of publicity and of men pursuing her, believing it to be an attempt to get more attention. He predicts that if she were really left alone she would throw herself at the first man she met. After being challenged by a man at his club, Datchett decides to invite her to stay at his house, aiming to stage a “scientific experiment” and prove his theory.
