Defying the conventions of polite society, Riding moves in with Graves and his wife living as a menage a tois.

Fantastic!
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
