From Publishers Weekly Very shy and utterly British Henderson Dores comes to New York to work as an art expert. His strongest desire is to become a "real，" spontaneous American， which occurs in unusual fashion after a painful trip to the South. PW gave a rebel yell for Stars and Bars， noting that it "pokes fun at the British and Americans， at lifestyles and responsibilities， at life in general."
