Lucky Jim / 1957

Jim Dixon feels anything but lucky. At the university he has to do the bidding of absent-minded and boring Professor Welch to have any hope of keeping his job. Worse, he has managed to get entangled with unexciting but neurotic Margaret Peel, a friend of the Professor's. All-in-all, the pub is the only friendly place to be. His misery is completed at a dreadful weekend gathering of the Welch clan by the arrival of son Bertrand. Not so much that Betrand is loud-mouthed and boorish - which he is - but that he has as companion Christine Callaghan, the sort of marvellous and unattainable woman Jim can only dream about.

Lucky Jim / 2003

A rollicking adaptation of Kingsley Amis's first novel, Lucky Jim stars Stephen Tompkinson as Jim Dixon, a luckless lecturer at a provincial British university, trying to make a splash with his pompous boss, Professor Neddy Welch (Robert Hardy). Jim is also trying to make it with the woman of his dreams, Christine Callaghan (Keeley Hawes, Othello and Wives and Daughters), while simultaneously being pursued by the woman of his nightmares, fellow lecturer Margaret Peel (Helen McCrory, Anna Karenina). One (of many) complications is that Christine is the girlfriend of Professor Welch's egotistical artist son, Bertrand. Another is that Margaret keeps attempting suicide to get Jim's attention. But despite his misadventures, Jim keeps his eyes on the prize: a leg up on the ladder to a professorship in medieval history.

Un umile inserviente, costretto a prendersi cura della madre malata, trova una borsa piena di soldi in un armadietto della sauna dove lavora. Ignora però che dietro alla borsa si nasconde un intreccio di storie di spietati malviventi: un doganiere indebitato, un feroce strozzino, un’astuta truffatrice, una giovane escort con un marito violento e un immigrato illegale si danno la caccia nel tentativo di mettere le mani sul denaro. Tra omicidi, tradimenti, colpi di fortuna e sfortuna i loro destini beffardi s’incrociano, cacciandoli in guai sempre più profondi, in un disperato gioco senza esclusione di colpi.
