"What's it about?" I hear you say. Well, here's a
synopsis:
1978. The Wimbledon Tennis Championships. An unknown American qualifier has
the world at his feet as he serves at match point to beat the defending champion
for a place in the semi-finals. His first serve is just out and as he throws the
ball into the air for his second serve, the Centre court crowd holds its breath.
Double fault.
The champion goes on to win the match and the tournament.
And what of the loser....?
2007. PAUL SCOTT is now forty eight. He lives alone, drives a rusting old Mustang
and coaches the over-sixties at a Florida tennis club. He owes money to his Mafioso
bookmaker and with payment due and not a cent to his name, only a miracle can
save him.
A knock at the door brings a visit from a private investigator and some unexpected
news. Unbeknown to PAUL, twenty five years ago whilst in Italy, he fathered the
child of an old flame, the recently deceased MONICA SERSALE. It turns out that
MONICA has left him half a million dollars in her will and as he travels first
class to Rome to meet with MONICA'S lawyer, he sips Champagne and sighs with relief.
His troubles are seemingly over.
But life has a habit of pitching PAUL a curve ball. Firstly, the lawyer introduces
PAUL to PHILIP BROCKENHURST, an English aristocrat and explains that as MONICA
was having affairs with both of them at the same time her daughter was conceived
and had no way of establishing exactly who the real father was, she included them
both in the will.
Secondly, the will has a catch. The daughter ANNA is due to get married in one
week's time and MONICA did not approve of ANNA'S choice of husband, the loud,
philistine MAX. So, for PAUL and PHILIP to inherit the money they must stop the
wedding from taking place.
PAUL and PHILIP are from different sides of the Atlantic and equally different
social strata and take an instant, almost pathological dislike to one another.
But thrown together by different motives (PAUL'S for money, PHILIP'S for paternity)
they become unlikely bed-fellows and agree to help each other to prevent the scheming
MAX from marrying the adorable ANNA.
It's not long before they find themselves driving along the beautiful Italian
Riviera to the idyllic Neapolitan town of Positano to claim their respective prizes.
But what starts as two lonely, bitter, middle-aged men's race against time, becomes
a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment when they are forced to confront
their past.
A few 'Full Circle' quotes:
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR: Are you Paul Scott?
PAUL: That depends.
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR: Depends on what? Whether you're having an identity
crisis?
------------------------------------------------------------
-----
PAUL (TO PHILIP): And I'm not shallow... I've just got a deep surface!
------------------------------------------------------------
-----
PHILIP: So this must be the ejector seat then?
PAUL: Keep pissing me off and you'll find out soon enough.
------------------------------------------------------------
-----
PAUL: Look man, we're stuck in the middle of nowhere. If you stay here,
the coyotes'll get you for sure.
PHILIP: Coyotes? We're on the Italian Riviera for God's sake, not El
Paso!
------------------------------------------------------------
-----
PHILIP (TO PAUL): Look, for heaven's sake, I'm an artist. Not a bloody
pornographer! Then again I'm talking to a man who thinks a Botticelli's
a type of pizza!
------------------------------------------------------------
-----
PAUL (TO PHILIP): Why can't you people drink a drink when you want it
rather than to some national timetable?
