    Upper class mischief and mystery in Kenya
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2012*

"White Mischief" is an elegantly kinky tale of the monied upper classes who escaped the horror of the blitz to go and live in Kenyas happy valley during WWII.The central plot revolves around the love triangle and eventual murder mystery between Josslyn Hay - The Earl of Errol (Charles Dance), Diana Delves Broughton (Greta Scacchi) and Sir Jock Delves Broughton (Joss Ackland). In this production Dance and Scacchi both hit career highs and inhabit their roles beautifully. Not only do they look the part, but the arrogance of Errol and the vampish, amoral desire of Diana are brilliantly obvious.Jocks growing anger and frustration are portrayed convincingly by Joss Ackland and the imperceptible snap moment follows a well done and gradual humiliation.Sarah Miles is very good as the morally bankrupt, drug addled Alice and the supporting cast fit into their roles with a real relish. Hugh Grant has a small supporting role in the early stages of the production.The happy valley set were never the same again after the murder of Lord Errol and this film comes to the same conclusion as James Foxes novel of the same name, that Jock was the trigger man. Indeed, the evidence against him is quite compelling and even though he was acquitted of the crime, subsequent years of investigation have only served to make him look more guilty.Jock had comitted fraud in his earlier days and managed to avoid going off to fight in WWI by coming down with an illness just before his regiment (The Irish guards) went off to be slaughtered on the Western front.The colt .32 used as the murder weapon was his but he claimed it was stolen a few days before the murder; When he was acquitted the foreman of the jury was his personal barber (and in one letter to a friend he stated that he was found not guilty by "a hairs breadth"); he commited suicide one year after Errols murder.An interesting twist that came out decades after the actual incident was that Diana was reportedly in Errols car when he was shot. The fatal bullet apparently first grazed her neck badly before it struck Errol and its a matter of record that she wore a neckerchief for the rest of her life in public.There was a theory that Errol may have been the subject of an SOE assassanation as he had fascist sympathies and the British establishment were worried about his loyalty, but it just doesnt stand up to scrutiny.Draw your own conclusions.An excellent production and certainly worth tracking down.

    Fascinating reenactment of a long forgotten murder
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2012*

In 1941 Kenya, a group of jaded and decadent British expatriates indulge in orgies, casual adulterous affairs as well as drugs. But when of their own (Charles Dance) is found murdered and the husband (Joss Ackland) of the deceased's mistress (Greta Scacchi) is arrested for the murder, even the decadent community is shocked. Based on an actual incident known as the Happy Valley murder case, Michael Radford's (IL POSTINO) film is a wry look at the casual moral rot of a dying colonialist society. There's no one to empathize with, not even the murder victim which distances us from the proceedings so that we're merely observers, nothing more. Visually, the film gets everything right but it's just not a film one can warm to. Scacchi looks terrific but her character is too ambiguous to make much sense of while Ackland and Dance aren't interesting enough to make us care. Fortunately, the supporting performances pick up the slack, especially Sarah Miles as a drug addled whack job who attends cocktail parties with a snake draped around her and has the film's best lines. Also with Trevor Howard, Geraldine Chaplin, Hugh Grant, John Hurt, Ray McAnally, Murray Head, Jacqueline Pearce and Susan Fleetwood.The Sony DVD is a nice anamorphic wide screen (1.85) transfer with optional English subtitles and features a making of documentary.
