Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Another Country is a 1984 movie by Julian Mitchell about the Cambridge Five spy ring, based on his play and starring Rupert Everett and Colin Firth.The film uses an interview between a reporter and Rupert Everett as Guy Bennett (loosely based on real-life spy Guy Burgess) to frame the narrative, which is set at a Cambridge boarding school in the 1930s. Bennett is gay and mostly apolitical in the beginning, mainly interested in bedding a particularly winsome blond hunk. His friend Tommy Judd (Firth) is straight, but outspokenly socialist.Homoerotic and political complications ensue, whereupon Guy finally comes to the groundbreaking realization that England in the 1930s is not exactly the mostly friendly place to be for someone who is openly gay and decides to emigrate to (and later spy for) the Cold War Soviet Union, because presumably that is the best place to go when you want maximum personal liberty and freedom of expression. Umm, right. So the film's explanation of Burgess' motives does not make a whole lot of sense, but it is still very nice to look at.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film won an award at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival. | |

Absurdly Powerful Student Council: Another Country runs on this trope, but on the not-unjustified premise of the power that prefects had in early 20th-Century British boarding schools. | |

Alas, Poor Yorick: Guy Bennett contemplates the empty bed of Martineau who committed suicide a few scenes earlier, then sighs: "Poor Martineau!" | |

Another Country / int_8c431fe4 | comment |
Band of Brothers: Guy Bennett uses the quote as a reference to the spy ring in a conversation with a young female reporter at the beginning of the movie. She does not recognize the lines, highlighting the differences in age and education between the two. | |

Agent Peacock: Rupert Everett as Guy Bennett. Nobody else has ever looked this badass in extremely effeminate dark sunglasses. And when he gets attacked by jocks he simply threatens to expose their numerous earlier homosexual experiences with him. Ka-Pow! | |

All Gays Are Promiscuous: Bennett again. Has apparently seduced anyone and everyone at that college, and probably their brothers too. | |
