White Mischief (1987)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: col 107m
Director: Michael Radford
Cast: Charles Dance, Greta Scacchi, Joss Ackland, Trevor Howard, John Hurt, Sarah Miles

Synopsis:

Expats in Central Africa indulge in cocktail parties and debauchery, and a husband suspects his young wife of infidelity.

Review:

Embarrassing wallow in the dirty laundry of the idle rich, lamely written and unattractively shot but lent a putative significance by its Happy Valley setting and the open gaze of the black boy waiter at the end. The Kitchen Toto tackled a similar theme far more compellingly, but Scacchi and Miles launch themselves into salacious activity with game abandon. The screenplay's tawdry drama is so loosely based around the personage of Ida Sackville West as to render any such resemblance all but pointless.
