A tale of the romantic compulsion of an older gay man for a footloose 22-year-old. "The Millionaire of Love" tells a unique story of the depth and beauty of romantic obsession between old and young men. Nevis, a sophisticated American advertising executive living in France, falls hard for Radomir, a rootless 22-year-old adrift in Europe...and 30 years Nevis' junior. What unfolds is a timeless tale of compulsion and unrequited love, of the building of idyllic romantic dreams, and their inevitable destruction. Set in vivid European locales, this touching story reveals an insightful portrait of the inner workings of romantic love and undeniable passion. Radomir, sensing an opportunity to take advantage of a situation, moves in with Nevis, accepting his hospitality yet refusing his bed. The young man is Crisp's epitome of a "millionaire of love", loved and desired by both women and men. However, he holds little patience for the older man's attentions. His constant rebuffs fail to dissuade the fixated Nevis, who in turn almost revels in the emotional pain he experiences from rejection.
Helpless against his own feelings, Nevis must do battle with his emotions to save his dignity, and any possibility for ultimate happiness.
