Summary
A Gothic farce staged in the gas-lit corridors of an elite boarding school where propriety is currency, Up in Mary’s Attic unfurls like a moth-eaten tapestry of secrets. Mary, ostensibly a demure heiress-in-waiting, is already bound by clandestine matrimony to a sinewy gym-master whose idea of calisthenics is more horizontal than vertical. Their infant—swaddled in contraband cashmere—becomes the attic’s reluctant lodger while the Principal’s serpentine heir prowls for scandal, sniffing out impropriety like a bloodhound in patent-leather shoes. The film pirouettes between dormitory prudishness and bedroom pratfalls, letting candlelight spill over corsets and crib sheets alike, until the rafters themselves seem to gossip.
Synopsis
Living in a private school while awaiting the fortune she will inherit if she remains unmarried until she's 21, Mary is not only already married, but also has a child with her gym-teacher husband. About to be discovered by the Principal's conniving son, they hide their baby in the attic of her dormitory.
