The small bachelor

A quiet, unassuming man whose greatest thrill is painting finds his peaceful existence shattered when he falls hopelessly in love with a domineering woman's daughter. To win her hand, he is dragged into a dizzying vortex of high-society events, stolen poetry, and an eccentric cast of uninvited houseguests. His desperate attempts to impress his prospective mother-in-law only trigger a cascade of disastrous, laugh-out-loud misunderstandings. It is a brilliant comedy of errors proving that the path to true love is never smooth, especially for the faint of heart.
