Line 8:
Not long after World War One, the Whittaker family awaits the return of their only son John from the continent. To their dismay, he brings a bride; a glamourous American racecar driver. The bride, Larita, thinks she and John will visit and then move to London, where he'll work and she'll race. But John is the heir to the estate, and his mother, Veronica, is nothing if not a master manipulator. Soon it's all-out war between mother and bride. John's father, Colonel Jim Whittaker, finds himself in the bride's corner, along with the family servants; John's sisters, Hilda and Marion, side firmly with their mother, while their neighbours, the wealthy Hurst family, look on.
'''''Easy Virtue''''' was originally [[Easy Virtue (play)|a play]] by [[Noel Coward]], but has been adapted twice; first as [[Easy Virtue (1928 film)|a silent film in 1928]], directed by [[Alfred Hitchcock]], and [[Easy Virtue (2008 film)|again in 2008]], directed by Stephan Elliot. The 2008 version is the best known, and starred Jessica Biel, Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
