Perfect Understanding is a 1933 British comedy film written by Michael Powell and directed by Cyril Gardner and starring Laurence Olivier,Gloria Swanson and John Halliday. The film was an independent production made at Ealing Studios, conceived as an attempt to revive Swanson's career which had suffered following the conversion to sound films. A comedy of manners in which Swanson and Olivier marry on the condition that each will retain his or her individual sexual freedom. But when each subsequently flaunts extra-marital escapades in the face of the other, an amusing battle of the sexes ensues.
