Mr. Malcolm's List is a 2022 period drama film directed by Emma Holly Jones and adapted by Suzanne Allain from her 2009 historical Romance Novel of the same name.It's 1818 London. Miss Julia Thistlewaite (Zawe Ashton) is humiliated when the bachelor du jour, the fabulously wealthy Mr Jeremy Malcolm (Sope Dirisu), appears to drop his pursuit of her after taking her to the opera. She learns from her cousin, Lord Cassidy (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), that Jeremy keeps a list of traits he seeks in a bride.Julia enlists her childhood friend Selina Dalton (Freida Pinto), a vicar's daughter from the Sussex countryside, for a revenge plot: Julia and Cassidy will mold Selina into Jeremy's ideal bride and make Jeremy fall for her. Selina will then reveal her own list of qualities she seeks in a husband and reject him. But when Selina starts developing real feelings for Jeremy, she starts having second thoughts about the plan.The film also costars Theo James as Henry Ossory, another suitor of Selina's, Naoko Mori as Mrs Thistlewaite, and Ashley Park as the crude cousin Mrs Covington.

Romantic Fake–Real Turn: Julia and Cassidy push Selina to pretend to be the perfect suitor for Mr Malcolm to give him a taste of his own medicine for casting Julia aside for not meeting his list of requirements for a wife. The plan is to lead him on and then reject him for not meeting a list of arbitrary requirements, but they end up falling in love for real, causing Julia to interfere.

Adaptation Expansion: Zig-Zagged. The theatrical version was originally an eleven-minute short film with Gemma Chan in the role of "Miss Thistlewaite" (no first name given), which itself was an adaptation of Suzanne Allain's novel by the same name. The full film recast Zawe Ashton in place of Chan, but kept the rest of the cast.

Oblivious to Love: Julia is so focused on getting revenge on Jeremy for hurting her feelings that she's unaware that Henry has taken a liking to her—and she to him—resulting in him having to outright kiss her to get his point across.

Marry for Love: Mr Malcolm would very much like to marry a woman he likes, especially after seeing the unhappy marriage his older brother ended up in, but winds up rejecting a lot of women who don't fit his perceived ideal out of self-preservation. He finally finds his match in Selina.

Dance of Romance
 Mr Malcolm's List / int_65c0f3fa
comment
It doesn't really affect their romance, but Jeremy Malcolm as an independently wealthy second son of an earl is way above his intended bride Selina Dalton in station, as she's "merely" the daughter of a country clergyman. During their Dance of Romance the gossipy ladies declare her a non-entity in the running to marry Mr Malcolm because of her low social class.

Uptown Girl: It doesn't really affect their romance, but Jeremy Malcolm as an independently wealthy second son of an earl is way above his intended bride Selina Dalton in station, as she's "merely" the daughter of a country clergyman. During their Dance of Romance the gossipy ladies declare her a non-entity in the running to marry Mr Malcolm because of her low social class. While Julia's exact social class isn't made clear, her deigning to dance with and eventually marry a military man draws chatter, implying she's also higher in station than Henry is.

 Mr Malcolm's List / int_e34400ab
comment
Ambiguously Gay: Lord Cassidy "Cassie" is implied to be gaynote His actor, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, considered that the character might be gay but the writers were unable to fit it into the script and left it to his acting decisions. Despite being a lord, he's apparently uninterested in the marriage mart and hangs out a lot with his female cousin and her friend. He sits out of the pall mall and pigeon-shooting played by the other characters, has rather effete mannerisms, and enjoys the feeling of the dresslike toga he dons for a costume party.
