Gentlemen's Relish

You enjoyed the good-natured feather-ruffling found in Calendar Girls and Mrs. Henderson Presents, so you’ll love this hilariously rambunctious comedy starring beloved Scottish stand-up comedian and actor Billy Connolly (Mrs. Brown, The Last Samurai). Kingdom Swann (Connolly) is a frustrated painter struggling to make ends meet in Edwardian London. After his devoted housekeeper Violet (Sarah Lancashire, Seeing Red, Sons and Lovers) buys him the newest technological marvel—a camera—he decides to make his living as a “society photographer.” But the fun begins when his more daring clients request their subjects to be captured au naturel. Hailed as “a real festive treat” (The Mirror), this clever comedy also stars Douglas Henshall (Sharpe’s Justice) as Swann’s conniving assistant.
