Overview
Synopsis
Fallen Angels is the comedic story of Julia and Jane, two upper-class women in England in the early 1900’s. They are married to Fred and Willy, two respectable Englishman. When Maurice, a former French lover, shows up in England while the two women's husbands are away on a golf trip, he reminds the two housewives what they might be missing. Julia and Jane become concerned that secrets from their past will be revealed, and comedic antics ensue. Fallen Angels is very much a comedy of manners among the “upper crust” society in early 20th Century England.
