27 th February 2003: The Scoundrel's Wife Update:
Just received a ton of information on The Scoundrel's
Wife. First up a synopsis of the movie the film recounts
events that actually took place there as, early in World
War II, prowling German U-boats sank more than 600 merchant
ships along America 's Atlantic and Gulf coasts, often
within sight of land, prompting witch hunts for traitors
in numerous coastal communities.
A lonely but fiercely independent widow, Camille Picou
(Academy Award-winner
TATUM O 'NEAL) lives in a bayou village where her husband
' s unsavory reputation fuels wild speculation even
after his death. Whispered rumors about what really
happened on a murky night years before torment Camille
and swirl around her two teenage children: romantic,
reckless Florida (Party of Five 's LACEY CHABERT) and
brooding Blue (PATRICK McCULLOUGH), eager to redeem
his family 's honor.
The devastating news of Pearl Harbor galvanizes the
entire nation. But in Cut Off, the war is closer still.
German U-Boats, patrolling the fishing grounds just
offshore, torpedo American tankers. Explosions light
up the night sky. The wreckage Camille and Blue catch
in their shrimp net and the casualties they rescue from
the sea are constant reminders of the danger lurking
just beneath the surface. When German prisoners of war
are brought in to work the sugarcane fields,
tension in the community approaches the breaking point.
A mysterious refugee arrives in town. The foreigner,
Doctor Lenz (JULIAN SANDS), is immediately suspect.
His reluctance to practice medicine only adds to people
's misgivings. But Lenz reawakens long-forgotten feelings
in Camille. Neither dares reveal the truth about the
secrets that bind them, even as the rogue of a village
priest, Father Antoine (TIM CURRY), decides to quash
their budding relationship.
Meanwhile, ships continue to go down. On a coast notorious
for smuggling, Coast Guard Ensign Jack Burwell (Band
of Brothers ' EION BAILEY) is charged by his superiors
to unmask any fishermen who might be selling fuel, supplies,
or information to the enemy submarines. He makes already-tainted
Camille his primary target. One by one, he seduces away
her children, fans
the hostility of the village, drives a wedge between
her and Lenz, and draws his net ever-tighter. Hell breaks
loose, all in one terrible day, when a cache of fuel
comes up missing, German POWs escape their nearby imprisonment,
and a group of horribly wounded casualties puts everyone
to the test. As fear and anger boil over, Camille, Lenz,
and her family are caught in a web of false suspicion
and secret shame that threatens to destroy them all.
Next
up the movie is released in St. Louis on the 28th of
this month and will expand nationwide shortly after.
