The Last Debutantes

1939 was the last year debutantes were presented at Buckingham Palace before World War II. This documentary interviews many of the women presented that year, upper class British nobility among them, and lets the women and their husbands (now in their later years) look back and tell their stories of that time and what happened to them during and after the war. A clear eyed look at life in Britain among the upper class with excellent archival footage from the era. Elisabeth Diana Percy, Duchess of Northumberland; Kathleen Kennedy; Unity Mitford; Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, and other notables are included.
