COLIN Firth is back on the big screen in a new film about love defying criticism and secrets threatening to ruin everything.

The twenties have roared... the thirties have yet to swing.

John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita, a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously.

However when the couple return to the family home, his mother Mrs Whittaker has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law.

Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law.

Larita quickly realises Mrs Whittaker’s game and sees she must fight back if she’s not going to lose John.

Mrs Whittaker manipulates every situation to undermine her, while Larita remains frustratingly calm and engineers sassy counter attacks.

Before long, Mrs Whittaker’s manipulation starts to work on John and Larita feels their love is in danger of slipping away.

In a grand finale, where the secrets from Larita’s past are revealed, she finally makes a break for freedom from the suffocating house.

Easy Virtue is now showing at Reel Cinema in Andover as well as The Odeon in Salisbury and The Odeon in Basingstoke’s Leisure Park and Vue Cinema in Festival Place.
