A tale of two losers, one who happens to be the billionaire Doris Duke.
With all her money, it is shown that the latter can't bring happiness. Duke lives in a closed-existent world and is soon attracted to her butler played by Ralph Fiennes.
The scene with the two celebrating her birthday is ridiculous. Fiennes suddenly dresses up with earrings, makeup, etc. To say that he looks ridiculous is to put it mildly.
This butler was there just for the money. That he gave Duke some happiness was just a matter of coincidence.
Sarandon is too young for the part. What Bette Davis could have done for this part!
The film is uneven since it starts with Duke ignoring Lafferty (Fiennes) and suddenly he is the head of the house. It didn't show how he got into her good graces.
