Adapted from the William Somerset Maugham story
Directed by William Cameron Menzies
Starring
Ronald Colman, Host
Nigel Bruce ...... Col. Mournay
Angela Lansbury ....... Joan Robinson
Ron Randell ........ Peter Jeffreys
George Macready ........ Count Borselli
Brenda Forbes ......... Edith Livingston
Sean McClory ........ Robert Upton
Sarah Shelby ......... Della Charlton
Ben Wright ........ Jeweler
Synopsis:
Joan Robinson works as a governess for a wealthy family. She attends a party
thrown by her employer and, although she is an attractive young woman, she is completely
ignored until one of the guests, Count Borselli, appraises the beads she is wearing as
a valuable string of pearls. She protests to no avail, knowing they are imitations. Her
whole life changes. She is invited to parties, and wooed by a fortune hunter. When it's
finally learned that the beads are worthless, she is fired and her suitor loses interest.
The count admits that, provoked by the snobbish socialites, he deliberately lied about the
beads. In the end, he and the governess fall in love.
This wonderful comedy drama uses a framing device with the elegant Ronald Colman
as the on-screen narrator, much like Peter Ustinov in "Lola Montes". A lovely young
Angela Lansbury plays the maid for a snobbish, prejudiced, household who is captivated
by an important Count (George MacReady) attending one of the family's lavish parties.
To "set-up" the stuffed shirts at the party, he points out that she is wearing pearls worth a fortune.
She immediately is looked upon in a very different manner, and is courted by a gold-digging
young man. When it is revealed that the "pearls" are worthless, she is spurned by all.
The happy ending, for this wonderful woman, is quite a lovely surprise. [SC]
