England, 1932. Today is Dolly Thatchum’s wedding day, and her family is arriving at the manor house with all the cheerfulness, chaos and grievances that accompany such gatherings. Trouble soon appears in the shape of Joseph, Dolly s lover from the previous summer, who throws her feelings into turmoil. But Dolly s mother (Elizabeth McGovern, Downton Abbey) will not allow her carefully laid plans for her daughter s future to be threatened. As the clock ticks and the guests grow more and more restless, the bride-to-be must decide whether to run away with Joseph or settle into the humdrum security of married life.
Starring Felicity Jones, Elizabeth McGovern, Eva Traynor, Luke Treadaway.
Rated PG
Note: This “refined comedy” won’t be for everyone, but there are some nice period details and fans of Elizabeth McGovern will be pleased.
