					| Description | 
  					The story of a smarmy conman who pursues sexual favors from his sexy cellist fellow lodger, money from his pompous and gullible landlady, and mercy from his predatory former wife - all this in an English 'stately mansion' that is down on its luck and threatened by modern commercial development. |
