Un Matrimonio All' Inglese
Presenta UN MATRIMONIO ALL’ INGLESE Easy Virtue Diretto da Stephan Elliott Basato sull’opera teatrale di Noel Coward Sceneggiatura di Stephan Elliott e Sheridan Jobbins Con Jessica Biel, Colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Barnes Kris Marshall, Kimberley Nixon, Katherine Parkinson, Pip Torrens Christian Brassington, Charlotte Riley Durata: 95 mins AL CINEMA DAL 9 GENNAIO I materiali sono scaricabili dal sito www.eaglepictures.com La Storia I ruggenti anni ’20 sono passati... gli anni ’30 sono solo all’inizio. Il giovane inglese John Whittaker s’innamora perdutamente di Larita, una ragazza americana sexy ed affascinante, e i due si sposano immediatamente. Quando la coppia torna a casa, la madre di John, Mrs Whittaker, ha un’immediata reazione allergica nei confronti della neomoglie del figlio. Larita cerca di fare del suo meglio per tentare di adattarsi, ma sfuggire ai tranelli architettati dalla suocera non è una facile impresa. Presto, Larita comincia a capire la tattica messa in atto da Mrs Whittaker e realizza di dover reagire se non vuole rischiare di perdere John. Scoppia una guerra fatta di piccole astuzie e volano le prime scintille. Mrs Whittaker è decisa a sconfiggere la propria rivale e così cerca di manipolare ogni situazione, mentre Larita, con una calma disarmante, architetta sfacciate controffensive. Presto, la tattica manipolatrice di Mrs Whittaker inizia a dare i suoi frutti e John e Larita percepiscono che il loro amore rischia di svanire. In un grandioso finale, in cui i segreti del passato di Larita vengono rivelati, la ragazza riesce finalmente a fuggire dalla soffocante casa….. La Produzione EASY VIRTUE, prodotto da Ealing Studios, è il raffinato adattamento cinematografico della commedia di Noel Coward dallo stesso titolo.
