SASSI Charity movie night!
Come and enjoy an exclusive advanced screening of the delightful new film, Easy Virtue at The Dendy, Circular Quay (due for release 12/3/09)
Based on the 1924 play by Noël Coward, Easy Virtue marks the much-anticipated return of Australian director Stephan Elliott (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). Set in the late 1920s, featuring an impressive cast including Jessica Biel, Ben Barnes, Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas, Easy Virtue is effervescent entertainment telling the story of Larita (Biel), a glamorous young American woman who is swept off her feet by young Englishman, John Whittaker (Barnes), and marries impetuously. However when the couple return to the family home, his mother Mrs Whittaker (Scott Thomas) has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law - and a battle of wits ensues.
As the sparks fly and secrets are revealed, Larita attempts to tip-toe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law yet at the same time finds an unexpected ally in Johns father (Firth). Like a vintage bottle of champagne, Easy Virtue fizzes with lacerating wit, elegance and fun.
