Description
The Old Reliable by P. G. Wodehouse is a witty and satirical comedy that pokes fun at the excesses of Hollywood's golden age. When Adela Cork inherits her late friend Carmen Flores' house, she hopes to escape the clutches of her domineering brother-in-law Smedley, who is on the hunt for Carmen's legendary lost diary. As Smedley navigates the complex web of relationships and alliances in his quest for financial gain, he is aided and hindered by a cast of eccentric characters, including a safe-blowing butler, a pompous movie mogul, and a group of unemployed scriptwriters. Meanwhile, Adela's sister 'Bill' Shannon proves to be a reliable and level-headed presence, ensuring that the situation does not spiral out of control. With its sharp tongue and clever plot twists, The Old Reliable is a light-hearted comedy that offers a humorous critique of Hollywood's mores during its heyday.
