'White Mischief ', a 1987 British period crime drama directed by Michael Radford, based on the true story of the 1941 Happy Valley murder case in Kenya.
"The aging Sir John (Joss Ackland) leaves war-torn England for
Kenya, with his beautiful young wife, Diana (Greta Scacchi). They join other
ex-pat aristocrats in the incongruously named Happy Valley. Cocooned from the
war in Europe, the denizens of the valley are completely at the mercy of the
boredom generated by their privileged lifestyles. Sir John soon begins to
realise that he has something more disturbing than German bombs and falling
commodity prices to worry about, when Diana starts to show far too much
interest in Josslyn Hay, the hedonistic Earl of Erroll (Charles Dance)".
