Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: This lovely, 1991 adaptation of Elizabeth Von Arnim's novel has a superb cast and a tone so mellow you can feel your pulse get slower. Josie Lawrence and Miranda Richardson play a pair of unhappily married women who rent an Italian villa for a month, sharing the rent with a crusty Englishwoman (Joan Plowright) and a lonely aristocrat (Polly Walker). Sun, rest, sinking into the green grass for long naps--they all have a soulful effect on the quartet, and then on the men in their lives who make a surprise visit. Mike Newell (Into the West) directs with seeming effortlessness, and it is impossible not to be swayed by the promise of restoration for these burdened characters--or for anyone alive. Wonderful performances all around, including a particularly sensitive one by Alfred Molina and a very funny one by Jim Broadbent. --Tom Keogh

I bought this DVD for a friend whose old video tape was wearing thin. I had seen the film but was delighted to see it again. Yes it is alike in feel to other films set in Italy in a different time, but it stands alone with yet another take on people from different yet seemingly similar backgrounds brought together for a short time.

This story has made me yearn for a vacation in Italy but not doing tours, a real vacation, relaxing at a Villa like in this movie! The story line was interesting and provocative. The acting was great. I highly recommed this to romantics.

I agree with many of the reviews and will not comment on the plot here but just say the script, setting, filming, editing, and acting by great veteran British stars is superb! I too waited several years for this to come out on DVD as I had it on tape and laser disc. So happy it finally was released and thank Amazon for encouraging fans to pre-order so the manufacturer could be persuaded to release. It is probably just a "chick flick" to some but it certainly is the best one I've ever seen. I ... Read More
