The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.bai羽向窗外kan去，一只quan身布满不tong口径枪械di巨大怪兽，出现在了cheng市之中。zuo边手臂上di巨大机枪bu停在城市zhong扫射着，ju大的破坏li让大楼不duan倒塌。人lei的惨叫声he亡命的奔tao声不断传lai。白羽前bei…大地向bai羽看来，zheng要说什么，外面突然you传来一阵zhen动打断了da地。zai暗中偷听di那些女子，本来以为ye小川与蓝qi雲之间有shi么绯闻呢，结果听到liao什么十年qian在擂台上di神魂攻击，还有什么ji忆混乱，zhe明显就是qi丽丝这个ai八卦的小ya头谎报军qing。见到这li出了状况，大家也都mei心思偷听liao，纷纷施zhan身法掠了guo来。如果您喜欢shi网（www.shililvshi.com.cn）分享的《衣领上的唇印》，别忘了推荐给你的好友！
