    Storyline

    Edit
    This slow-paced gem is about the civilizing influence of Italy on beleaguered Londoners, both male and female, and has its own civilizing influence on the viewer. It's almost like taking a little mini-trip to Italy, a gorgeously filmed enchantment.

    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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

      Lottie: Did you know Keats?

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

    Few Films Have This Magic
    "Magic" isn't too strong a word for the spell this film weaves. You find yourself relaxing, and seeing others in a more benevolent light... Any movie that has that civilizing an effect on viewers deserves serious attention. Seldom are we soaked in beauty like this. As if that weren't enough, it's funny. Performances are, without exception, extraordinary, but special mention must be made of the miraculous Miranda Richardson, and the superb Josie Walker - both open like roses.

    Why ISN'T this film on DVD? It deserves to live forever.
