___________________________________

Clifford Day Vanderwall, a Wasp who attended Princeton and The Wharton School, has a trust fund, a nifty job at IBM, and a spacious apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side. What's wrong with this picture? Clifford cannot make decisions. He would rather procrastinate hoping the decision will go away by itself.

At a society mixer, he meets fortune hunter Shirley Horner. They are perfectly matched: Clifford is a born victim and Shirley is a born predator. After assessing the size of Clifford's balance sheet, Shirley traps him in a web of deceit. She gradually controls every aspect of Clifford's life, redoing his apartment, his clothes, his choice of friends, and his leisure activities. After manipulating Clifford into marriage, Shirley quits her job and begins an affair with a rich Portuguese playboy. Most men would jump ship but not Clifford. Lacking the ability to make up his mind, Clifford appears to be doomed in this outrageous satire about love among New York's upper crust.
