Another Country
Based on the award winning play by Julian Mitchell the film explores the effect of public school life in the 1930s on Guy Bennett (Rupert Everett). His homosexuality and ambitions, however, are waylaid by the young James Harcourt (Cary Elwes), with whom he begins a passionate yet secret affair. His unwillingness to play the game turns him later on to become a spy for the Russians against England.
An indictment of the British class system, ‘Another Country’ is the movie that made a very young and very attractive Rupert Everett a star and playing along side him is an equally impressive young Colin Firth as Everett's Marxist (and heterosexual) compatriot in his debut film role.
