A “Crush” on Chipping Campden
copyright 2001. The Film Council
It may not be a fantastic film, but I love the movie Crush with Andie McDowell (sometimes known as Satan’s actress, but she’s ok in this). The film just fuels my fantasy of living in the Costwolds in a glorious cottage with charming avenues and shops. Just look at that doorway in the photo. Sigh. I managed to find a VHS copy of the film for $.99 and snapped it up, but I’d really like to get it on DVD so I can get some screen shots of the cottage/town.
Filmed in and around Chipping Campden, the film’s director was keen to choose a town that was “beautiful but very dull”. Not sure how the town reacted to the dull part of that comment, but it certainly is beautiful.
If you want to stay near Chipping Campden, try the Letter Box Cottage where Andie McDowell stayed during filming: http://www.cotswoldcountrycycles.com/cottage.htm
The real bonus of this film is that the gals go off for a weekend in Paris and stay at one of my “wish list” hotels, the Relais Christine. http://www.relais-christine.com/
