On the surface, it's a comedy and is loaded many laughs, humorous lines and scenes, but there are layers of meaning and symbolism to be explored. I've used it in teaching those aspiring to be teachers or principals, but could imagine it being used in an MBA program or public policy program. It's quite a treatise on how people believe what they want to and how easily many can be influenced by something or someone they don't understand and won't admit they don't understand.
For those interested in such details, it was filmed at the Biltmore House as was The Swan, a popular Grace Kelly movie.
