THE STORY: Two couples’ domestic complications are thrashed out and acted out mostly on shipboard. “The two wives,” in the words of The New York Times, “adore each other until they discover that they both had the same lover before they were married…Mr. Levy then introduces the lover and the mistress, turns everything upside down once or twice and concludes by making the wives friends again and the husbands enemies."
A brilliant example of topsy-turvy intrigue.
