    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Irish Screenwriter Hugh Leonard originally wrote the part of Miss Katherine O'Hare especially for Maureen O'Sullivan, but she gracefully reneged because of her advanced age and dwindling stamina. Her daughter Mia Farrow ultimately took over the role.
    • Goofs
      Just after Edwina and Godfrey have sat down on the blanket for a picnic, you can see the top of a modern car driving by in the background.
    • Quotes

      Miss Katherine O'Hare: Even when the English are murdering you, they're always thorough gentlemen.

    • Crazy credits
      One line in the end credits reads: "This film is dedicated to the memory of Sophie Irvin".

    A delightfully humorous "mystery"
    A truly lovely look at Irish humor and it's not so subtle jabs at the Brits. But there's more. How these characters weave a tale is fascinating and the plot thickens, as they say, with a marvelous twist that caught me totally off guard. Wonderful performances by all especially Joan Plowright who kept me laughing whenever she was on screen. It was nice to see Mia Farrow successfully widening her range, and Natasha Richardson wafted through the film with an aire of mystery about her -as did Farrow- commanding out attention throughout.
