Rules Don't Apply - Trailer & Clips

Warren Beatty writes, directs and stars in the new movie Rules Don't Apply. 

Marla Mabrey could be the next talk of the town, having already made a name for herself by being named the local beauty queen in the small town she grew up in, much bigger things await the brunette beauty. Hollywood is on her doorstep and with a little luck she's about to become one of the biggest actresses the town knows. 

The year is 1958 and Marla is accompanied to the city by her mother having grown up in a strict Baptist environment, some people might judge Marla as being a little frigid, especially as the city is just on the brink of a feminist uprising. She doesn't drink, smoke or believe in premarital sex but the city might just loosen Marla up and introduce her to a few vices she never thought she'd take up. 

Equally, Frank Forbes is a young guy with a whole load of ambition. He's grown up in a Methodist family and is set to marry his sweetheart from junior school. Looking for a better way of life, Frank moves to the city and quickly finds himself being in the employ of Howard Hughes. Though Hughes often kept himself away from the limelight, eccentric doesn't begin to explain Hughes' well-known public persona. He was a pilot, a businessman and a movie executive who liked to keep as many fingers in as many pies as possible - including the studio where Marla finds herself being signed to.

Frank welcomes Marla from the airport and is assigned to be her driver - though it's implicitly against the rules for any two Hughes employees to have a relationship the pair find themselves entwined in a love affair, all whilst being swept up in the usual frenzy that surrounds Howard Hughes' life.
