Old Acquaintance is "a delightful drawing-room comedy about two childhood friends who have grown into very different adults. Though they are both successful authors, independent Katharine "Kit" Markham (Colin) carries on an affair with a younger man while divorcee Mildred "Milly" Drake (Harris) refuses to loosen the apron-strings on her teenage daughter, Deirdre (Davis). But when Deirdre's struggles to become more like her idol Kit have far-reaching consequences, the two women who thought they were growing apart may have much more in common than they'd like to admit," state press notes.
