The Drummer Robert Daniels. Operation Hyacinth Odie Henderson. Film Credits. When Tamara Drewe sashays back to the bucolic village of her youth, life for the locals is thrown tail over tea kettle. Tamara, once an ugly duckling with a beak of a nose, has been transformed into a devastating, what some men like to call a healthy beauty.

As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighbouring farmsteads and the writers retreat, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book — sex appeal.

And she uses it so well, inspiring dreams in pompous writers, a narcissistic young drummer from London, and in her old-time interest, the wonderful hunk Andy. This film is witty and happy but also shows the failures of relations as i. There are two interlocking storylines. Andy is a handsome lug—a farmhand out of D. In fact, none of the men deserve the women they have or want, which is true of most movies these days.

But the entire cast, regardless of gender, is stellar. Stephen very rarely reads actors. We just sat there in an office on Portobello Road in London, and we just chatted about life and Welsh actors, like Burton and Michael Sheen. We talked about my life, where I came from and who I was, as a human being. I left and then, a couple of days later, I got offered the role. It was very unusual. Was there something specific about this project or this character that made you want to do it?

Luke: There were lots of reasons why I wanted to do this film. Obviously, the main and most ultimate reason was working with Stephen Frears.

I think any actor, given the opportunity, would jump at the chance to work with him. It was almost like he knew me and he knew that I could do it, which is such a lovely thing. He got me and he got that I would be able to play this role. I totally understood Andy. I understood how he worked, I understood his physicality and I understood the way he dealt with life. I come from a very working-class background. I come from the countryside.

I come from a bunch of horticulture family members. There were so many similarities to me and Andy, so it worked out quite well.

Luke: It was something I always wanted to do. I always wanted to sing, as a child. When I left school, I got a job in a shoe shop and I used to save 15 quid a week and pay for my own singing and acting lessons. It was just an outlet for me because I always loved to do those things.

And then, I auditioned for a scholarship for college. My teacher sent me to London from Cardiff, and I won it, which gave me the opportunity to go and study.

I never even thought that would be an option. You have to have a lot of money to go to college. And, I won this scholarship and it paid, and that put me on the right road. I felt alive when I read a script and acted out a scene, or sang a song. It was my dream. Did you have a moment when you realized that you actually were doing this as a career?
