Based on the true story of nonconformist millionaire Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, portrayed by Disney Legend Fred MacMurray, the film is told through the eyes of the clever but unlucky butler John Lawless (Tommy Steele), who manages their Philadelphia household. After young Cordy Biddle (Lesley Ann Warren) gets engaged to heir Angier Duke (John Davidson), it’s up to John to unite the Biddle and Duke families to keep the wedding—dubbed “the social event of the season”—on track. Featuring music by Disney Legends Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, the comedy was directed by Norman Tokar.
