WE THINK THE WORLD OF YOU

This is the film version of JR Ackerley's best-selling semi-autobiographical 1960 novel about a love triangle between two men and a dog. Set in the rubble of post World War II East End, London, Alan Bates stars as the older, set-in-his-ways, part-time lover of Gary Oldman, a roguish bisexual charmer who divides his affections between his wife Megan (Frances Barber) and his male lover.

The situation is upset when Oldman is sent to prison for six months. The care and feeding of his beloved dog, Evie, a charmer in her own right, is left to his mother. But Bates, desperate for a replacement love, begins to care for her and becomes obsessed with the canine - able to see in her qualities that his lover could never possess. A decidedly offbeat and witty comedy of misplaced love.
