In 1936, London chorus girl Julia Packett (Greer Garson) is always in trouble financially but also seems to land on her feet by using her feminine wiles to manipulate the men in her life with a smile on her, and usually their, faces. Much to her surprise, Julia receives an invitation to her now-grown daughter Susan Packett's (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) wedding to upper-crust Roderick Pennystone, to be held in the Packett mansion outside of Paris. Julia being a wife and mother is something of which her current social circle had no idea. Julia and her equally upper-crust husband William Sylvester Packett (Walter Pidgeon) met during World War I when he was enlisted and she a bright-eyed 17-year-old just starting out in the vaudeville business. They split--separated, but never divorced--because of their fundamental class and thus attitudinal differences, when Susan was an infant. Julia knew that it made sense to leave Susan with William because Julia's working life, which included late nights and often being on the move to where the work is located, would be no way to raise Susan. However, William's controlling mother, in the settlement, would not allow Julia any visitation rights, as such, Susan has never known her mother. Despite having no money for the trip nor appropriate wedding attire, Julia accepts the invitation, which Mrs. Packett (Lucile Watson), William, and Susan are surprised to receive as no one admits to sending Julia an invitation, her name not on the official invitation list. Julia's presence adds a spark to the proceedings as she is reunited with William and gets to know Susan for the first time, all of which is only complicated by her encounter with the Ghenoccio acrobatic troupe en route to Paris, strongman Fred Ghenoccio (Cesar Romero), who has fallen in love with her, and the presence of William's old friend, the wealthy Colonel Bruce (Willowbrook Nigel Bruce), known to his friends as "Bunny". But Julia hopes that, based on her history and current circumstance with William, she has some influence on Susan, who she feels is marrying the wrong man; she thinks Ritchie Lorgan (Peter Lawford) , the Packetts' hired muralist, is the one Susan truly loves, if she will only recognize the fact.
