Michael gets his chance when his new girlfriend, Ellie, turns out to be an extremely wealthy heiress. The two are wed and are soon living in a modern home on Gipsy's Acre. Their idyllic life shatters around them with a series of bizarre events and threats. Micheal comes under the disapproving eye of both Ellie's greedy family and her interfering best-friend Greta.

I'll never forget Gypsy's Acre,
as I saw it that very first time.
Great sweep of the landscape
down to the sea, in the distance.
And ...
why, Ellie ...
Ellie Darling ...
Ellie Darling ...
Ellie ...
"I'll never forget the first time
I saw Gypsy's Acre"
What?
That's what you were saying.
Oh yes ...
You, you sure you ... don't mind me
me telling you about it?
Not in the least.
It's a long story.
Why not come with me to the ...
south of France, or ... Italy.
Nothing I'd like better,
if it's for that long.
I don't really know where to begin.
Anything wrong with the beginning?
No! Not that!
Wherever you like then.
"Portrait of the artist as a young man"
How about that?
Yes ...
why not.
May sound corny ...
but I think I must have been born
with a love of beautiful things.
I always thought I got it from my father.
Paintings, for instance.
I could look at some of them for ...
hours at a time.
They gave me a strange excitement.
Shiver along the spine.
Lot 50. A small, early, Renoir landscape.
Anyone started? Five thousand
guineas offered, thank you.
Five hundred, six thousand ...
five hundred, seven thousand ...
five hundred, eight thousand ...
five hundred, nine thousand ...
five hundred. Ten thousand.
Ten thousand guineas ...
eleven thousand.
Twelve thousand.
Twelve? Thirteen thousand.
Fourteen thousand.
Fourteen thousand guineas.
Fifteen thousand.
Bids at the back now.
Fifteen thousand guineas ...
Fifteen thousand guineas.
Sixteen thousand.
It's against you at the back now.
Sixteen thousand guineas.
Sixteen thousand guineas. Anymore?
Sixteen thousand guineas.
As with gallery.
Bad luck.
One mustn't complain.
- May I?
- Thank you.
Where to now, madam?
Erm, back to Claridges, Rogers.
Certainly, madam.
Spent the morning at Christie's.
Nearly had a Renoir knocked down
to me at fifteen thousand quid.
One of these days you'll get landed
with something. Then what'll you do?
Don't you realise, Mum ...
Between my bid and the next ...
I owned that picture.
Does your boss know where
that car is now?
I can always adjust the odd
half-hour in the books.
One of these days you'll get fired.
You don't know me, Mum.
Never pretened to.
Because you never wanted me to.
Never liked being watched,
even as a little boy.
Do you remember that text
over you bed?
I often wondered what you did with it.
Did you now?
Mickey ... do you have to
drift from job to job?
Look, I've been doing this
for six months now.
Anyway I like to get around.
You won't for much longer if you keep
using the firm's car for yourself.
Yes I will. I'm a good driver.
The clients like me.
A matter of fact they're sending me out
to the continent again next week.
Picking up some Greek Tycoon in Milan.
Driving him down to look over his villa.
Tio Mio! The fellows gone mad!
Who?
Santonix of course, my
genius of an architect.
What does the lunatic think
he's building! An Empire?!
You know how much he's gone up
again Alice? Another hundred million.
Pounds?
No, Italian Lira.
Oh.
Santonix!
Welcome to San Pier.
Mon Tio! You must be
completely off your rocker.
You're ruining me totally!
How are you?
We must go through these in detail,
urgent issue!
Alice.
Come on, we're in a hurry!
That's normal. Whereas
Alice is ...exceptional.
I ask you, what the hell is the point
of estimates if you don't keep to them?
And what are estimates for if
not to be exceeded?
These things are, are, are, relative.
Not to me they're not.
Come and see what I've done.
Apart from spending my money?
I certainly will!

Sidney Gilliat (15 February 1908 – 31 May 1994) was an English film director, producer and writer. He was the son of George Gilliat, editor of the Evening Standard, born in the district of Edgeley in Stockport, Cheshire. In the 1930s he worked as a scriptwriter, most notably with Frank Launder on The Lady Vanishes (1938) for Alfred Hitchcock, and its sequel Night Train to Munich (1940), directed by Carol Reed. He and Launder made their directorial debut co-directing the home front drama Millions Like Us (1943). From 1945 he also worked as a producer, starting with The Rake's Progress, which he also wrote and directed. He and Launder made over 40 films together, founding their own production company Individual Pictures. While Launder concentrated on directing their comedies, most famously the four St Trinian's School films, Gilliat showed a preference for comedy-thrillers and dramas, including Green for Danger (1946), London Belongs to Me (1948) and State Secret (1950). He wrote the libretto for Malcolm Williamson's opera Our Man in Havana, based on the novel by Graham Greene. He had also worked on the film. more…
