Keep The Aspidistra Flying: A Merry War DVD

Can a struggling neophyte poet in 1930s London ever find creative and financial independence while his day job has him turning out such prose as "New Hope for the Ruptured"? That's the crisis of conscience facing advertising copywriter Gordon Comstock (Richard E. Grant) and his girlfriend and co-worker, graphic artist Rosemary Waterlow (Helena Bonham Carter), in this winning comedy/drama, based on George Orwell's novel "Keep the Aspidistra Flying." With Harriet Walter, Jim Carter. 101 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
