Salmon Fishing in the YemenRSS

A breezy adaptation of Paul Torday's satiric novel, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, this 2011 romantic comedy-drama of the same name begins when Bridget (Kristin Scott Thomas), the prime minister's overzealous press secretary, reads about a fabulously wealthy sheik (Amr Waked) who longs to bring fly-fishing to the desert. She believes that cooperation with his country would be good for Britain's image, while the sheik has more altruistic goals in mind.
