A look at british life in the 1920s and 1930s. Evelyn waugh certainly did have a flair for the wacky and fringe stories. We meet adam the writer, and agatha, his best friend. They are just arriving in england, and are both having a terrible start. She's been accused of being a jewel thief, and customs throws out adam's draft of the novel he's just written. And adam was counting on that income to get married to nina. Lots of parties. The young jet-setters are having fun at parties, spending daddy's money, and enjoying life. Nina is sweet, but kind of an airhead. And they all have a love hate relationship with the gossip columnists. They want the admiration, but resent the invasion of privacy when it doesn't suit them. Not much has changed in a hundred years! Will adam and nina ever get married? Will he re-write his book? Co-stars dan akroyd, james mcavoy, emily mortimer. It's fun to tag along. Directed by stephen fry. The only film he ever directed! There was also a silent film titled bright young things released in 1927, but so little is known about that film. Waugh's book vile bodies wasn't published until 1930, but may have dealt with the same subject matter. This film is pretty good.. but I liked the loved one even more!
