Summary

Barbara is a major in the Salvation Army-but she's also the daughter of Andrew Undershaft, a man who's made millions from the sale of weapons of war. The real battle, however, rages between between the devilish father and his idealistic daughter as they answer the question: does salvation come through faith or finance? This sparkling comedy traverses family relations, religion, ethics and politics as only Shaw-the master dramatist-can. Adapted by Dakin Matthews. An L.A.
