#31 - NUTS IN MAY (1976) - Alison Steadman / Roger Sloman - Dir. Mike Leigh

This week its time for another obscure or lesser known film - and we thought we would change the pace a little and instead of going for a completely random or even awful movie like we have in the past, we felt that this lesser known gem of a movie would be ideal viewing. The hilarious and cringeworthy Nuts In May (1976) first screened on the BBC in the 70's as a part of their play for the day series and follows anally retentive control freak Keith Pratt (Sloman) and his timid wife Candice-Marie (Steadman) as they take a relaxing camping holiday in Dorset. But soon Keith's sanity is put to teh test by his fellow campers.One of the early films from British filmmaker Mike Leigh, director of Secrets and Lies, Happy Go Lucky and Vera Drake, this has always stood out as a favourite in our household. Watch Nuts in May for yourself here - https://amzn.to/3DY2TtzSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wnmovietalk) Hosted on Acast.
