Keep The Aspidistra Flying - a.k.a Comstock And Rosemary a.k.a. A Merry War (USA)

Drama (Gordon Comstock)

A Merry War is based on a novel by George Orwell, and the title refers to a line in the book that describes the dynamic between Rosemary and Comstock. Helena Bonham-Carter and REG play wonderfully off each other, squabbling and sparring with malicious affection. Eventually, Rosemary - a sharp, uncommonly modern woman - winds up in a predicament that compels her to demand that he make his choice, and his long overdue decision, which serves as the denouement, comes as quite a relief.

Best REG line:"Why CAN'T I have sex in the afternoon??" and.........."I'd like to breed but Rosemary won't let me"
