Husbands and Lovers

1970 · 1 season

A gentle, witty period comedy of manners about affairs and misunderstandings, more charming than scandalous.

Overview: Three comedies about the sex game and stolen kisses, wanton wives, willing lovers and rather-too-gullible husbands in 1900s Budapest: Nicholas Braun is a young student in love with a married woman; Hedwig, an actress who stole someone else’s husband – and put him in a wardrobe; and Johann and Erich discover similar tastes while looking through a book of nudes.
How it feels: Satirical, whimsical, romantic and light. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, betrayal, sexuality, deception
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
