Easy Virtue (2008)

Noel Coward's enduring wit translates nicely to the screen with this adaptation of his classic play. Jessica Biel (THE ILLUSIONIST) stars as Larita, an American beauty who weds proper Brit John Whittaker (Ben Barnes, THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN). Though the couple is excited about their marriage, John's parents (played by Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas) think that the match leaves much to be desired. An earlier silent version was directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
