Learned Ladies of Park Avenue

THE STORY: A jazz-age screwball comedy riff on Moliegrave;re's biting satire of pretense and learning. Betty wants to marry Dicky. Her mother Phyllis, a self-proclaimed intellectual and political activist, has another man in mind-namely, the hack poet and scheming opportunist Upton Gabbitt. Set in 1936 Manhattan against the backdrop of the Great Depression and impending war, this romantic comedy skewers those who wear their so-cial conscience on their sleeve and affirms that love conquers all.Grimm, David is the author of 'Learned Ladies of Park Avenue ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780822221357 and ISBN 0822221357.
