Film Description

In a film based on Ben Jonson's Volpone, Rex Harrison stars as international playboy Cecil Fox, who decides to pretend he’s dying in order to find out what his three old flames will do. He summons them all to his bedside, and they come gladly, thinking of the fortune he will leave behind: Princess Dominique (Capucine), fading movie star Merle McGill (Edie Adams) and Texas millionairess Mrs Sheridan (Susan Hayward). To assist him in his scheme, Fox hires William McFly (Cliff Robertson), a gigolo and sometime actor to act as his secretary/servant. As Fox and McFly act out the charade, things take an unexpected turn from comical farce to full blown murder mystery as one of the contenders is found dead.
