ResumoIn Song for Marion, a British comedy-drama from writer–director Paul Andrew Williams, the titular Marion (Vanessa Redgrave) has terminal cancer, but still enjoys taking part in a local community choir of pensioners led by young schoolteacher Elizabeth (Gemma Arterton). The choir (“The OAPz”) do renditions of pop songs (opening the film with Gnarls Barkley's Crazy and Martha and the Vandellas' Nowhere to Run), much to the disdain and disinterest of Marion's husband, perennial grump Arthur, played by Terence Stamp. As Marion's illness gets progressively worse, she asks Arthur to go to practice in her stead. Although reticent at first, he starts to get more involved, with predictable results.
