Misbehaviour is currently being screened in cinemas and is also available online to stream ( click here for more information ). It runs for 1 hour 46 minutes (spoiler alert: make sure you keep watching to the very end, where the real-life personalities and their backstories are featured, including Miss Grenada - Jennifer Hosten (beautifully played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw), Miss Africa South - Pearl Jansen (Loreece Harrison), feisty Jo Robinson (Jessie Buckley) and Sally Alexander (Keira Knightley).

Here's the trailer for Misbehaviour:

Multi-BAFTA-winning Director Philippa Lowthorpe leaves no stone unturned as she chronicles the trials and tribulations in this screenplay jointly written by Rebecca Frayn and Gaby Chiappe. The casting is spot-on, featuring Rhys Ifans as Eric Morley - the founder of the Miss World pageant and his wife and co-founder Julia Morley (Keeley Hawes) as they prepare for the 1970 Miss World pageant in London, having recruited Bob Hope (Greg Kinnear) to compere and ensuring representation from both sides of South Africa - taking a stance against South Africa's apartheid regime. It was also the first time Miss Grenada appeared - which is ultimately a defining moment in Miss World's history.

Misbehaviour is certainly a step back in time and really drives home how society has changed, for the better from what it was then.
