    • Trivia
      The Italian castle scenes were filmed at Castello Brown in Portofino, Italy, the same castle where Elizabeth von Arnim stayed in the 1920s while writing the novel of the same title, on which this movie was based.
    • Goofs
      Rose selects a spray of pink flowers from a vase to place in her hair. When she puts the flowers back into the vase, the straight plastic stem reveals them to be artificial.
    • Quotes

      Lotty: Did you know Keats?

      Mrs. Fisher: Keats! No I didn't, and I didn't know Shakespeare or Chaucer either.

    a perfect gem of a film
    This is a lovely, spirit-restoring movie. From the use of the actual villa that inspired Elizabeth Arngrim to write the novel in the 1920s to the inspired casting, every choice was perfectly right! The quiet joy of this film doesn't stale after repeated viewings. Josie Lawrence, Miranda Richardson, Polly Walker and Joan Plowright seem to have been born to play these parts! I would dearly love to see Enchanted April released on DVD in a widescreen format.
