'Shucked'! "Shucks Ma'am, It's a Helluva Show!"

'Shucked' is a musical fable/farce to see for its side-splitting humor and deeper messages current for us today.

Ashley D. Kelley, Grey Henson in Shucked (courtesy of Matthew Murphy & Evan Zimmermann) If you love corn and even if you hate it, you will laugh at the jokes about or related to the sunny fruit (official classification) in Shucked, the funny, bright, clever, homespun musical fable/farce about love, corn and deeper things. Shucked is a throwback to delightful Broadway productions that are easily…

Man in a Suitcase: Web with Four Spiders (1.23, ITC, 1968)

"Why me? With your name all you have to do is pick up your telephone, you'd be up to your neck in nice, keen, young Harvard-trained security boys. Probably drum and bugle corps to boot."

"Yes, and those photographs would be in the FBI dossier."

"Or a private one. I could make copies. See what they'd buy me."

"Oh no, you've already answered that. My name is Norbert; you are a discredited American agent. No one will accept your word against mine."

"Good. But I'm expensive. I call it my self-respect bonus."

White Mischief (1987)

White Mischief is an atypical murder mystery because the first half feels like a completely different movie than the second. If you don’t know there’s a high-profile court case coming, you’d never guess it and since we don’t spend time setting up a bunch of Agatha Christie-style suspects, the person who had motive is most likely to have committed the crime. The reason to see this picture isn’t so you can feel clever about lining up all the clues; it’s to see what feels like a faithful adaptation of a true story from a period that feels very alien to us now.

In 1940, World War II rages but a group of bored British aristocrats are living it up in the Happy Valley region of the Kenya Colony. Late nights spent drinking, taking drugs and swapping sexual partners take them as far away from what’s happening in the motherland as possible. Diana (Greta Scacchi) is the beautiful wife of Sir Henry “Jock” Delves Broughton (Joss Ackland), who is 30 years her senior. When she begins having an affair with Josslyn Hay, Earl of Erroll (Charles Dance) and then falls in love with him, her prenuptial agreement is put to the test.

We often think of people from the past as stuffy and prudish so it’s a shock to see Nina Soames (Geraldine Chaplin) get out of her tub and turn to the men surrounding her - all of which are dressed in their wives’ clothes - and ask which of them is going to have sex with her tonight. Meanwhile, there’s a world war going on. The rich really do live in their own world. Normally, this makes them insufferable but this snippet of their lives that ultimately ends in tragedy is just the right amount of time spent on the other side of the fence. You wonder how long it will take for Sir Jock to find out about Diana and Josslyn. You wonder whether he is seducing her away from her husband because he thinks she has money he can claim for himself - she doesn’t. In fact, Sir Jock’s bank account is looking a little thin but he doesn’t want to admit that to his wife. You get the feeling his lack of money is troubling him more than the state of his marriage. It wouldn’t be surprising. Obviously, they didn’t marry out of love. She’s his arm candy. They both know it, which is why they’ve both previously agreed to dissolve their marriage if either of them falls in love.

Most of the film concerns the above drama. Then, there’s a murder. You know who did it and if you don’t know, it’s because you're incorrectly assuming the obvious culprit - Sir Jock - couldn’t have possibly done it. It wouldn’t make sense unless he was blinded by jealousy but that’s what most real-life murders are like, actually. This makes White Mischief a nice break from the usual.

Written and directed by Michael Radford (from the book by James Fox), this picture is most likely a one-and-done (unless you’re a teenager who wants to see a lot of nudity, then it’s got plenty of re-watch value) but that’s alright. The performances are good, the period-accurate costumes and sets are convincing and the fact that it’s based on true events adds some interest to this tale of decadence gone wrong.

just going on official record by saying that “MUSCLE MEMORY” by kelsea ballerini is debatably the best pop/country track to be released in at least the last five years.
