Facts
Anglia (P) made preparations for make a play for television called 'The Man in the Wood.' P did this before even finding the leading man to star in the play. P eventually made a deal with Robert Reed (D) for him to star in the production. P and D, through his agent verbally agreed on the phone that D would come to England and be available from September 9-October 11, 1968 to rehearse and play in the film. D was to get 1,050 pounds, a living expense of 100 pounds per week and first-class airfare to and from England and the United States. All these plans were subject to a permit to be obtained from the Ministry of Labour. That was obtained, and then things began to fall apart. D's agent had booked him for another play and could not make it to England for P's play. P then sued D for damages. P claimed wasted expenditure but not lost profits. The trial court allowed P to recover all its damages not just those incurred after the contract. D appealed.
