Design for Living is a comedy play written by Noël Coward in 1932. It concerns a trio of artistic characters, Gilda, Otto and Leo, and their complicated three-way relationship. Originally written to star Lynn Fontanne, Alfred Lunt and Coward, it was premiered on Broadway, partly because its risqué subject matter was thought unacceptable to the official censor in London. It was not until 1939 that a London production was presented. Design for Living was a success on Broadway in 1933, but it has been revived less often than Coward's other major comedies. Coward said, "it was liked and disliked, and hated and admired, but never, I think, sufficiently loved by any but its three leading actors." The play was first adapted into a film in 1933, directed by Ernst Lubitsch, with a screenplay by Ben Hecht, and starring Gary Cooper. It first played in London in 1939 and has enjoyed a number of stage revivals.

This TV version, directed by Philip Saville and produced by Louis Marks, was first aired on May 6, 1979 and included the following cast:
Rula Lenska ... Gilda
Clive Arrindell ... Otto
John Steiner ... Leo
John Bluthal ... Ernest Friedman
Dandy Nichols ... Miss Hodge
Helen Horton ... Grace Torrence
Vincent Marzello ... Henry Carver
Martha Nairn ... Helen Carver
Britt Walker ... Matthew (as Brittain Saine Walker)
