Caught in the Act

When rich, handsome Scott Richmond catches teenager Chrissie Dreyfuss with her hands on his mother’s jewels, he lets her go on a whim—especially since his family was responsible for the loss of her father’s job. But when her gorgeous older sister Nicole shows up to stop her, they learn that Chrissie has already sold the jewels to some of his mother’s friends. Unfortunately, they’re fake and his mother is all too eager to collect the insurance. Now Scott and Nicole have to steal the fakes back before the buyers or the insurance company finds out his high society mother has tried to cheat them.

“Caught in the Act is a zany, surprisingly sophisticated, screwball comedy reminiscent of the 1930s Hepburn movies. Scott is a terrific foible who plays the clown because that is what is expected by his peers and family. Only those who get inside like Nicole realize a fool could never have saved the family as he did. Pam McCutcheon provides an amusing with serious undercoating romantic romp starring two likeable protagonists and a solid support cast.” — Harriet Klausner
