Another Country

Adapted by Julian Mitchell from his Cambridge Spies-inspired play, Rupert Everett stars as Guy Bennett - for whom life in a 1930s public school is an alienating experience. While his classmates embrace the system, the gay Bennett kicks against it. His rebellion is far quieter and less fervent than that of Marx-obsessed pupil Tommy Judd (Colin Firth). As he learns that the Establishment has as little use for homosexuals as it does for Communists, Bennett finds himself favouring the hammer and sickle over the old school tie.
