This delightful comedy presents a unique glimpse of a day in the life of the great scientist as seen through the eyes of his secretary. The scene is Princeton, New Jersey, 1934. It is Einstein’s birthday and a group of journalists has gathered in his living room to interview him at his home as he turns 55th. As usual, Einstein is late and his devoted secretary, Ellen, stalls by fielding questions, placating and humoring the reporters, explaining his theories all the while attempting to keep the chaotic household running smoothly.
