5.0 out of 5 stars decadently gorgeous - like the best chocolate, 1 Dec 2008

By	D&D - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

One of my favourites but almost inaccessible - not currently for sale as a DVD and to my knowledge never shown on UK TV since 2001 - yet this is a classic, a first rate production that qualifies for cult status. This gorgeously filmed tale of a colony of hedonistic British upper-class expatriates near Nairobi in the 1940s continues to resonate with me after many years and many other films.

Based on James Fox's novel of the same name and subtly directed by Michael Radford, these shallow, self-absorbed residents of "Happy Valley" pursued a debauched search for pleasure through sex, drugs, alcohol, cross-dressing soirees, spouse-swapping get-togethers, and even a cocktail reception in a cemetery.

The primary focus is based on a triangular relationship that actually occurred between cynical, selfish, young and beautiful Diana Caldwell Broughton (Greta Scacchi), her betrayed, elderly husband Sir John Delves Broughton (Joss Ackland), and amoral Josslyn Hay, the 22nd Earl of Erroll (Charles Dance). When the Earl is found shot to death, Sir John is the obvious suspect because of the flaunted affair between the Earl and Diana. He is brought to trial but several other men - and women - share the same motive; in real life, the murder was never solved and a later book, on Lord Erroll by Trzebinski, claims the Earl was executed because he was a spy.

This is fascinating and compelling viewing. Stars and supporting cast (notably John Hurt, Sarah Miles, Trevor Howard, and Geraldine Chaplin) are all outstanding. Greta Scacchi is never again quite as luminously beautiful as in this steamy, sordid African mystery. Sumptuously filmed on location by Roger Deakins, the film vividly contrasts raw and wild nature with the decadence of Happy Valley's dissolute aristocrats.

The story is gripping, the acting superb, the sets are marvelous, the scenery magnificent, both Greta Scacchi and Charles Dance are gorgeous - this is a fascinating and compelling film.
