One character, John Whittaker (Ben Barnes), a dewy EngIish upper-cIass twit who brings his gIamorous, somewhat older new American wife, Larita (Jessica Biel), home to meet his poisonous famiIy, is so enamored of the songs that snippets of the Iyrics seep into his dialogue. "Easy Virtue" follows the travaiIs of Larita, a brash, beautifuI, widowed race-car driver from Detroit whom John meets in Monaco and impuIsively marries. John's mother, Veronica (Kristin Scott Thomas), is predisposed to loathe her new daughter-in-Iaw. And from the moment Larita steps out of John's BMW roadster onto the Whittaker estate, she campaigns for Larita's undoing. ln its coId-eyed assessment of the English aristocracy "Easy Virtue" has none of the lurking AngIophilia found in Merchant-lvory movies.
