The Truth About Love

Synopsis

Alice Holbrock is happily married to Sam. It’s Valentine’s Eve and as part of a drunken bet with her sister, Alice sends Sam an anonymous Valentine’s card to see if he hides it. Unfortunately for Sam, he conceals it far too well, which infuriates Alice. Egged on by her cynical sister Felicity and with the unknowing help of Archie, Sam’s best friend, what starts off as a silly prank escalates to phone sex, a clandestine meeting and ultimately the revelation that her husband already has a mistress. Alice has to decide whether to fight for her marriage or leave him. She decides to fight – but where will it all end? How far would you go to test your man? How far would you go to keep him?

The story of the tribulations behind best-selling children's novelist Roald Dahl's marriage to Academy Award winning actress Patricia Neal. The somewhat unlikely pair - an in-demand Hollywood actress and a burgeoning children's author - find their relationship put to the test, and ultimately strengthened, by tragic events. Set between New York, England and Los Angeles in the early 60s, it tells the tale of Dahl's struggles while writing some of his most famous works and Neal's return to acting.
