Margi has appeared in several films. 1985 saw her debut as a movie actress in the highly acclaimed movie "Letter To Brezhnev" Rich humour makes up for a low budget in this Liverpudlian romance from the mid-1980s. The film  Stars Margi Clarke, Alexandra Pigg, Peter Firth and Alfred Molina

Full of male perms, moustaches, red high-heels, dangerous clubs, chip-shop diets and "thieving", A Letter To Brezhnev presents Thatcher's high-unemployment Liverpool as a depressed, dangerous and near hopeless city. The only thing that distinguishes it is its Georgian architecture and the passion and humour of its inhabitants. Unfortunately, the buildings are crumbling and the people are desperate to leave, although they've lost none of their native wit. "Just look at this city," says a taxi-driver. "Whoever did the planning for all this wants his balls roasted."

Elaine is sick of her life and especially the men in it. "They've no romance in them," she complains as her companion Tracy (Lea) bemoans her own boyfriend's faults (primarily that "he's off his mong all the time"). Luckily, while in a nightclub (the 80s sartorial excesses of which have to be seen to be believed), Elaine comes across a Russian sailor Peter (Firth) who provides her with the romance she craves - for one night. Thanks to Iron Curtain politics, however, they are quickly separated and it takes a letter to the Soviet premier Brezhnev to provide the couple with a chance of meeting up again: provided that Elaine can abandon her unhappy home forever.

Alex Cox, the Liverpool-born filmmaker (Repo Man, Sid & Nancy) and former TV presenter (BBC2's 'Moviedrome') turns his to attention to the very bloody business of Thomas Middleton's Jacobean play, first published in 1607, in this, his first British feature.
