The Truth About Women, which Muriel Box called her most personal film, reveals the complex lives of women and the assertion that women can and should be 'an equal partner in the business of life'.
What we get is a parade of different women across 6 short stories of varying length, detailing their various relationships with Lawrence Harvey playing British Foreign Office diplomat/official Humphrey Tavistock who weirdly spends much of his time complaining to various women or just about any character nearby, how little he gets paid.
From legendary British director Muriel Box comes a frothy romantic comedy drama that actually has a lot to say about the differences between men and women, even some sixty-six years later. Laurence Harvey looks back at the women that shaped his life as he attempts to give his impetuous son-in-law advice in how to deal with his own daughter.
