What relation was the Countess to the bad host and why was he paying her a salary that he threatened to stop? Also, who were those two young men that came late and Her Ladyship, the host’s wife, said they could have trays and had to stay in the billiard room and had no part in the plot at all? I checked sites on the movie but they just want to review it and sell it instead of telling who all those people were. I still don’t know, but there were several red-haired girls that were main characters but unexplained. Also a red-haired woman that was married to the ugly host, yet she was beautiful and went to bed with an English actor who was pretending to be an American actor who was disguised as a Scottish serant. The two servants, I found out, were actually sisters. Anyway, it was a good movie but they shoud have handed out a paper telling who these people were supposed to be on this hunt at the country house. And why did they use the name of Ivor Novello, since he was actually an actual actor in real life, but nobody else in the movie was? Did they want to use Noel Coward instead, which would hav made more sense, but his estate wouldn’t hear of it or something?

SPOILER ALERT!!!
here’s what I remember:
The two guys that came late:
one of them was the daughter’s boyfriend. The other was his friend. He apparently was in it only for the money. When he finds out at the end that she will not get teh large estate, he leaves, with friend in a huff. He might have also left for another reason:
The daughter in the meantime, was having an affair with one of the guests (the guy who was really mean to his wife. The blonde guy who was broke). She became pregnant as a result and he was in a way extorting her for money. This is why she gave him a check.
As for the Countess, I think she was a cousin or something to the host…who was not paying her a salary, but rather was in charge of her trust fund.
I too, agree that they should have introduced the characters a bit better. Maybe in the opening credits or something: Dame Magie Smith as…
I spent the first half of the movie trying to figure out who was who.
