Greg Kinnear and Lesley Manville to play Bob and Dolores Hope in Misbehaviour

Greg Kinnear and Lesley Manville have signed on to portray Bob and Dolores Hope in a film about the 1970 Miss World contest.
Misbehaviour will centre on the pageant, which Hope hosted amid protests from the newly-founded Women’s Liberation Movement.
Keira Knightley, Gugu Mbatha Raw, Keeley Hawes, Rhys Ifans, Phyllis Logan, and Jessie Buckley will also star.
“Claiming that beauty competitions demeaned women, the newly-formed Women’s Liberation Movement achieved fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the 1970 competition, then at the height of its popularity,” a statement about the film reads. “When the show resumed, the result caused uproar: the winner was not the Swedish favourite but Miss Grenada – the first black woman to be crowned Miss World.”
Principal photography on the production began on Monday (26Nov18). Philippa Lowthorpe is directing.
