Madonna Gets Witty

Friday December 25, 1998 12:00 AM EST

In other casting news, Madonna has signed to star in a movie version of "Quadrille," by the late, great English wit, Noel Coward (whose birthday centenary is this year). It's about a philandering English aristocrat who runs off with the young wife of an American industrialist. Madonna will play the Englishman's wife, who runs off with the American husband to search for the wayward couple. Surprise: The jilted lovers discover they love each other. Shooting in London and the South of France will start early next year, and the film could hit the screens next autumn, according to the British production company Alibi. No word yet on the rest of the cast.
