Edward Churt is a successful painter. His wife Carol has a 'vivid personality composed of a minimum of intellect and a maximum of sex'.

Increasingly aware of her infidelity, Edward defends himself with a veneer of sophisticated insouciance.

But his best friend and army comrade is determined to avenge him...

This Was A Man explores some of Coward's lifelong themes of social mores, jealousy and the futility of a life with no moral compass.

What, indeed, does it mean to be a man?-3 women, 6 men
