From Stephan Elliot, director of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, comes this witty new comedy from the poison pen of Noel Coward and starring the delightful Jessica Biel and Colin Firth.
Set during the Roaring 20’s, John Whittaker (Ben Barnes), a young English man, falls madly in love with a sexy and glamorous American woman, Larita (Jessica Biel), and they impetuously get married in the South of France. However, when the couple arrive at the stately family home in the English countryside, things start to unravel. John’s mother Veronica (Kristen Scott Thomas), has an instant allergic reaction to everything about her new daughter-in-law. Sparks soon fly and a hilarious battle of wits ensues as each woman tries to outsmart the other.
A truly wonderful script and a knock-out support cast featuring the dry wit of Barnes, Scott Thomas as well as Colin Firth, this follows in the tradition of such films as Gosford Park and Mrs Henderson Presents.
