Regency-era courting is nothing short of enchanting, and it’s much better when it includes a smattering of pride, secrets, and theatrical dance moves. The forthcoming Mr Malcolm’s List, directed by Emma Holly Jones, is the ideal lighter fix for period picture aficionados. The film’s screenplay is written by Suzanne Allain, the author of the novel that served as the inspiration for the story. Similarly to Netflix’s blockbuster programme Bridgerton, the film has all the conventions of a well-crafted time-period play, combined with the inclusion of a diverse cast within that historical era. In order to get revenge on the handsome but elusive Mr Jeremiah Malcolm, Julia Thistlewaite enlists the aid of her country friend, Selina Dalton. Mr Malcolm has a laundry list of what he wants in a partner. In order for Selina to reject him, Miss Thistlewaite plans to mould her into the right fit for his list. Everything you want to know about the film is right here.
Malcolm’s List: Where and When to Watch?
July 1, 2022, is the day that Mr Malcolm’s List will be released in the United States on a theatrical basis. It’s not clear when or if the film will be available on streaming services. An unmarried lady of lesser social status in early 19th-century England, Selina Dalton is used to getting less than ideal marriage proposals due to her lack of a sizable dowry, as shown in the trailer. She prefers to remain single rather than get married for financial reasons. Selina takes advantage of Julia Thistlewaite’s invitation to remain in London when she receives a letter from her beloved friend. It is only after her arrival that she finds out Julia’s plan to have Selina do everything she can to make Malcolm fall in love with her, only for her to viciously reject him in the event of a proposal. Selina is first hesitant but finally agrees to join. Eventually, she gets to know the real guy behind Mr Malcolm, and their prank with Julia is put on hold as their feelings for each other blossom. Now that Selina’s attraction to Mr Malcolm has been revealed, things are about to get a lot more problematic.
