Before they were Walkers
Here’s a little treat to tide you over until tomorrow night’s party-hearty new episode — a couple of scenes from Very Annie-Mary, a 2001 film in which Rachel Griffiths and Matthew Rhys played Welsh townsfolk instead of brother and sister. According to a BBC review, the film stars Griffiths in an “offbeat story of a shy baker’s daughter who finds the courage to break free from his overbearing influence. Jonathan Pryce plays the monstrous Jack Pugh, who delivers his loaves in a Luciano Pavarotti mask and uses Annie-Mary as a human sleeping bottle whenever his feet get cold. Then again, he’s par for the course in a village whose residents include a pair of gay shopkeepers called Hob and Nob (Ioan Gruffudd and Matthew Rhys) and a dying teen (Joanna Page) who will be off to Disneyland if the Mayor can raise enough cash.” The highlight of this clip is the end, when Rhys and Gruffudd perform “You Can’t Get a Man With a Gun” to Griffiths’ accompaniment. Enjoy!
