What happens

Lady L is a 1965 comedy film based on the novel by Romain Gary and directed by Peter Ustinov. Starring Sophia Loren, Paul Newman, David Niven and Cecil Parker, the film focuses on an elderly English Duchess as she recalls the loves of her life, including an anarchist and an English aristocrat. The ending of the film is very different from the ending of the novel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
