Keeping Mum (2005)

We all have our own way of seeing things. One person’s distraction is another’s obsession. It doesn’t take much to push our opinions from disinterest to keen focus. Such is the case for Grace (Maggie Smith) after casually answering her employer’s phone. It’s Lance (Patrick Swayze) calling to offer suggestions on what he is planning for Gloria Goodfellow (Kristin Scott Thomas) once she leaves her husband. It involves coconut cream, tongues and other body parts. Grace thinks it is lovely but Lance should know that she was once incarcerated in an asylum for the criminally insane for murder.
