A British suburb is infected with a severe dose of celebrity worship in this
comedy from the U.K. Stella Street is a cul-de-sac in a middle-class suburb of South London. The street has been home to a handful of British show business figures who have moved on to more prestigious environs as they reached the big time, among them
the Beatles and
Michael Caine.
Caine, however, breaks precedent by moving back to Stella Street after an unhappy episode in Los Angeles. Word gets out about
Caine's presence in the humble surroundings of Stella Street, and before long a steady stream of Hollywood stars begin snapping up homes there, including
Jack Nicholson,
Al Pacino,
Madonna, and
Joe Pesci, which attracts plenty of star gazers from neighboring communities and annoys several of the locals, among them genial washerwoman
Mrs. Huggett and half-mad gardener
Len McMonotoney.
Stella Street was based on a
BBC comedy series created by writers/comedians
Phil Cornwell and
John Sessions; they also wrote the screenplay for the film (with director
Peter Richardson) and play nearly all the characters themselves, including impersonating Stella Street's celebrity denizens.
