Stiff Upper Lips(1998)
This sexual awakening... turns into a hilarious nightmare!
Stiff Upper Lips Synopsis
Stiff Upper Lips is a broad parody of British period films, especially the lavish Merchant-Ivory productions of the 'eighties and early 'nineties. Although it specifically targets A Room with a View, Chariots of Fire, Maurice, A Passage to India, and many other films, in a more general way Stiff Upper Lips satirises popular perceptions of certain Edwardian traits: propriety, sexual repression, xenophobia, and class snobbery.
Stiff Upper Lips (1998) is a comedy film directed by Gary Sinyor, released on June 12, 1998 with a runtime of 1h 39m. It stars Georgina Cates, Peter Ustinov, Prunella Scales and Samuel West. Viewers rate it 5.6 out of 10 across 12 ratings.
