A Rather English Marriage 1998


Product Details     Reggie is a former officer in the British Armed Forces, Roy also served but he was a NCO.  Both of their wives become ill and are next to each other in the same hospital.  Strangely, both of the wives die within a few minutes of each other.  Reggie and Roy are both visited by a hospital worker to see how they are coping on their own.  Reggie doesn’t know how to do anything around his house and Roy can do just about everything.  They decide to join forces with Roy moving into Reggie’s larger home.
     This has funny moments even with the somber beginning.  There are flashbacks to their lives when they were all younger.  Reggie’s wife really knew his basic character and she left him the home as long as he is alive with $10,000 pounds a year as his allowance.  She knew to be wary of fortune hunters taking up with Reggie.  4* (I really liked this movie)

104 min, Drama directed by Paul Seed with Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay, Joanna Lumley, John Light, Joanna Scanian, Priyanga Burford, Ursula Howells, Katie Carr.

Note:  Imdb 8.0 out of 10.
