Enchanting Merchant-Ivory production, one of the team's best efforts. It was the company's first big international hit, and I can see why. Unlike most period pieces, this movie is charming, witty, and very entertaining, and has none of the stiffness that adaptations of literary classics usually suffer from. I'm always amazed at how well director Ivory (with the help of writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala), captures the atmosphere of a by gone era. The ensemble cast is a true delight: newcomer Helena Bonham Carter is a wonderful heroine (she was destined to become a great actress), and both Denholm Elliott and Maggie Smith (both received Oscar nominations for their great work here) threaten to steal every scene they are in. The recreation of the period is incredibly accurate, Jhabvala's script works like a Swiss watch, and director Ivory keeps the story moving and he avoids the dramatic clichés of films of this vintage. And it is a very funny film. A movie that needs to be seen with someone you love.
