THE MARRIAGE TALE
Think of this romantic comedy as a story about the restoration of a heart, a marriage and a 1968 Camaro. The notion of an ideal romance in the form of a James Dean-type of blue collar over–the-hill-hot-rodder sweeping a woman off her feet is both absurd and hilarious. The lighter side of infidelity and middle-aged craziness that spurs it is used metaphorically in The Marriage Tale the same way as it was in Moonstruck. With a small town setting, the ambiance of classic car rallies and games of chicken by over the hill rebels, it follows the trials of Lorraine Evens and her stud-gone-to-seed husband, Tom, and an equally fallible, albeit dashing Hollywood stuntman, all vying for the big prize - true love. Will Lorraine's heart ever sing again after 30 years of marriage? Or, will the handsome Hollywood stuntman (with a death wish) visiting in town to film a Hollywood movie steal her heart away? But most importantly can these characters and "us" their baby boomer counterparts ever really find true love again - even if it bites us on the ass?
