Perfect vehicle for Patricia Hodge, 17 August 2002
10/10
Author: Maurice (mcvnet@rcn.com) from Boston MA

Patricia Hodge was cast perfectly. So were all the other actors but her especially. If you love reading Elizabeth Bowen then this movie based on her book will not disappoint you. It used to be shown on Bravo but hasn't been shown in a long time. I would love to buy it if it becomes available for purchase.
