Sixty-five years after making his screen debut as a young stoker in co-directors
Noël Coward and
David Lean's World War II
drama In Which We Serve,
Richard Attenborough perfects the balance between epic story and intimate tale with this
drama starring
Shirley MacLaine and
Neve Campbell as a mother and daughter who find a relic from the past sparking an incendiary series of events. The year is 1991, and as a small American town mourns the passing of beloved World War II veteran
Chuck Harris, his wife
Ethel (
MacLaine) numbs herself with alcohol to the point where she completely neglects her grieving daughter
Marie (
Campbell). Later, after
Marie receives a telephone call from a boy in Northern Ireland who claims to have recently discovered a ring belonging to
Ethel, a mystery nearly five decades in the making comes slowly into focus as the story drifts back into
Chuck's wartime past and the days when he and
Ethel first formed their powerful bond.
