Synopsis by Hal Erickson
What Every Woman Wants!, at least according to this British comedy-drama, is a roof over her head. Elsy Albin and Patric Doonan play Jane and Mark, a newlywed couple with no home of their own. Forced to live with Jane's parents, the young marrieds are never permitted a moment's privacy. Complicating matters is the arrival of returning soldier Jim Barnes (William Sylvester), whom Mark thick-headedly regards as a romantic rival. Also gumming up the works is a local labor dispute which results in several heated family arguments. What Every Woman Wants! is based on Edwin Lewis' short story Relations are Best Apart.
