From Stephan Elliott, director of the international hit The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, comes the sparkling and witty British romantic comedy Easy Virtue. Starring Jessica Biel, BAFTA® nominee Colin Firth, Oscar® nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Barnes and Kris Marshall, Easy Virtue is released to buy and rent on DVD on 16 March 2008 from Pathé Distribution Ltd – just in time for Mother’s Day!

The Twenties have roared….the Thirties have yet to swing, when after a whirlwind romance young Englishman John Whittaker (Barnes; Prince Caspian; Dorian Gray) marries the sexy, glamorous racing driver, Larita (Biel; The Illusionist; I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry). Convinced his family will be as enchanted as him by his new bride, John returns to his family home with Larita. It is clear from the start, however, that John’s mother Mrs. Whittaker (Scott Thomas; Gosford Park, Four Weddings and a Funeral) is offended by everything about her new daughter-in-law – as well as being American, she is a beautiful, older, independent divorcee!

Easy Virtue:
See the trailerLarita tries her best to fit in but fails to tip-toe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law. Quickly realising Mrs. Whittaker’s game she sees that she must fight back if she’s not going to lose John. A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly…
