Their Finest (2016 Lone Scherfig)

Based on the novel 'Their Finest Hour and a Half' by Lissa Evans (2009), adapted by Gaby Chiappe (Shetland and other TV things), has something of the back story to Blimp about it (Hungarian producer, intervention of Ministry of Information).

Gemma Arterton is great as screenwriter, Bill Nighy wonderful as over-the-hill actor. With Sam Claflin, Raul Ritter, Rachel Stirling (Diana Rigg's daughter: Capital, The Bletchley Circle, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen), Jack Huston, Richard E Grant, Jake Lacy (American), Helen McCrory, Eddie Marsan, Henry Goodman (producer), Jeremy Irons.

Can't think why it was shot in widescreen (by Sebastain Blenkov), leading to incongruity of seeing 4x3 cropped into that shape. The recreations of studio model work are funny.

Affectionate and very enjoyable.
