May We Borrow Your Husband? is a British television movie produced in 1986. The film was written by Dirk Bogarde and directed by Bob Mahoney. It starred Bogarde and Charlotte Attenborough.
Plot
"May We Borrow Your Husband?" is the title story of a collection of what Graham Greene termed "comedies of the sexual life." The story is indeed something of a comedy of manners because the lifestyles of a particular class of English society come under the scrutiny of the author. The narrator, as both a novelist and an authority on Rochester, who was noted not only as a poet but also for his scandalous sex life, is an appropriate observer of the events that transpire before his eyes. On one occasion he remarks "You will notice that I play a very unheroic part in this comedy," although he does, in fact, endeavor to prevent what he sees as a potential tragedy and in the course of events falls in love as well.
