SYNOPSIS
KEEPING MUM stars Atkinson as an absent-minded vicar of a
rural parish who is so distracted by the pressures of his job
that he fails to notice his wife's (Thomas) dalliance with her
brash golf instructor (Swayze), his daughter's parade of new
boyfriends, and his young son's regular trouncing by the
school's bullies. Enter their charming new housekeeper, Grace
(Smith), the answer to the family's prayers: a sweet,
grey-haired old lady with her own distinctive definition of
cleaning house. One by one, the family members find that Grace
is able to solve their problems, but they don't realize that
her means are leading to a lot of ends and the population of
their sleepy hamlet is rapidly diminishing.
