Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?

1968 · 89 min

A frothy, old-fashioned bedroom-farce comedy that coasts on charm, mistaken assumptions and gentle laughs rather than bite.

Overview: When the Great Northeast Blackout of 1965 hit, millions of people were left in the dark, including Waldo Zane, a New York executive in the process of stealing a fortune from his company, and two people whose paths he's destined to cross, Broadway actress Margaret Garrison and her husband, Peter.
