Notorious Gentleman
A playboy and scoundrel seduces women, and his questionable behavior gets him expelled from Oxford University and results in his serving in the army during World War II, but his actions and decisions may lead him to redemption. Vivian Kenway (Sir Rex Harrison), a young Englishman from an aristocratic background, flunks out of Oxford, and decides to use his considerable charm to achieve his goal of, apparently, making dissipation his career. His derelictions include seduction, betrayals of sweethearts, family and friends, and marriage for money. All this with no signs of remorse or redemption, since his life as a completely unprincipled rake is quite enjoyable, for him, at least. Then, World War II breaks out and he is given a chance to die a heroic death for flag and country. Maybe. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
