    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Some of the marijuana plants used in the shooting were real. The British government gave permission to the filming crew the use of 150 marijuana plants, under supervision of the authorities. This meant that the plants had someone guarding them on the set, and watching over its transportation to a nearby storage facility for its safekeeping at night.
    • Goofs
      When Matthew is climbing up the ladder and Grace speaks to him out of her window, his left hand is alternately on/off the rung between shots.
    • Quotes

      Jacques Chevalier: All the people I deal with are scum. I'm a little scummy myself. You are not scum. That worries me.

      Grace Trevethyn: I take exception to that. I come from a long line of scum. My dear late husband was one of the scummiest men to walk the face of this earth.

      Jacques Chevalier: My apologies.

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits, the movie title appears and then turns to smoke & blows away while you hear someone exhale.

    Liked it, but disappointed in the end.
    A delightful gentle comedic gem, until the last five minutes, which degenerate into run of the mill British TV farce. The last five minutes cost it 2 points in my rating. Despite this major plot and style flaw, it's worth watching for the character acting and the unique Cornwall setting. Many fine little bits to savor, like the tense eternity we all go through waiting for the bank approval after the clerk has swiped the credit card...made more piquant when we're not - quite - sure the card is not maxed.
