Overview

Society grande dame Alice Grenville is appalled when her son marries Ann, an El Morocco showgirl. She snubs her unsuitable daughter-in-law... until the young woman unloads a shotgun at what she claims is a prowler, but turns out to be her husband. Then Alice and her elite friends come to the rescue, protecting Ann from a murder charge rather than subject their moneyed circle to the unpleasantness of police and publicity. Ann-Margret and Claudette Colbert (winning a Golden Globe for her last role) portray the two Mrs. Grenvilles in this trenchant two-time Emmy-winning miniseries based on Dominick Dunne's bestseller and set in a chic world of wealth, malice and murder.
