Jeremy Irons and Anthony Hopkins star in this british production. Hopkins is Llewellyn, director of the local playhouse. he auditions Jones (Irons) for a part in the local show, Beggar's Opera. keep an eye out for Prunella Scales (Fawlty Towers!)... she's Hannah, Llewellyn's wife. and a much more soft, sweet, pleasant companion, in this one. the whole village is full of eccentric characters. Llewellyn has no filter, and seems to keep saying the wrong thing. you'll also see Lionel Jeffries as Jarvis. Jeffries was in about every british series every made. the web of silliness turns into a caper, and everyone gets caught in their own web of lies. it's quite good. Directed by Michael Winner... worked from the 1950s through the 1990s. i didn't happen to know much of his other projects, but I'm not so familiar with the danger/adventure/drama genre. Based on a play by Alan Ayckbourn.
