Keeping Mum

Walter Goodfellow, the vicar of the English small-town parish of Little Wallop (Rowan Atkinson), has allowed his marriage to Gloria (Kristin Scott Thomas) to go stale. He hasn’t noticed that Holly, his 17-year-old girl, is having a series of affairs with unsuspecting boyfriends and that Petey, his son, is afraid of going to school because he was bullied. In desperate need of affection, Gloria falls for Lance (Patrick Swayze), an American pro golfer who offers her private lessons. After Grace Hawkins (Dame Maggie Smith), a new housekeeper arrives, the problems that were causing so much trouble start to disappear. She starts to take care of matters like a younger, more mysterious Mary Poppins (1964). –Brian Greenhalgh
