On the movies-not-yet-on-our-radar radar comes these images of Easy Virtue, based on the Noel Coward play about an American divorcée meeting her new in-laws after tying the knot with a young Englishman on the spur of the moment in France.
Jessica Biel plays Larita Huntington, said divorced American, and actually isn’t looking too bad in period garb. We also have some Colin Firth as the groom’s father and some Kristin Scott Thomas looking elegant but troubled as the groom’s mother, Ms. Whittaker.
The name of the play has to do with the branding a divorced woman would receive at the time of this period piece, but don’t get too confused if you haven’t seen the play: Alfred Hitchcock used Easy Virtue as his basis for the 1928 silent film of the same name.
We think it’s okay to re-make a Hitchcock film after 80 years, don’t you?
Easy Virtue will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival next month.
