Never even heard of it but I sure am glad I watched it. I absolutely loved it. When did this come out? Because if mid 90a that means Helena was doubling on the Harry Potter set. If it lines up but idr the release of the first movie. I know they were a ways after the book craze happened. But I wasn't young enough even back then. So I didn't get into Harry Potter until I think the 3rd or 4th movie came out then I started reading the series. It would be interesting though. I don't think I've seen her in anything since her and Tim Burton divorced. She is such a versatile actress. Everybody was raving about Helen mirren in this and that's great and she's great too. but Helena Carter is just awesome in her movies no matter the A list or indie scripts.

[@constantquestioning4010]

All four of the suburban Edwardians fall in love with « the idea » of Italy, at one level or another. Gino woefully miscast, lacked earthy physical presence and innate good. Graves disastrously pedestrian. Poor direction: the acting lurches awkwardly from painfully implausible two dimensional stereotypes, peevish or forever angry characters, cliches and stilted dialogues towards the intolerable melodrama of the violent scene, and the implausibility of a fudged sentimental ending. It is a slight and early EM Forster short novel which works better when read. The dialogue falls short of Bernard Shaw’s gift (eg the odd Italophile aesthete Praed in « Mrs Warren’s Profession » etc). Too slight and dark.

A relentless look at the British elevated classes of that period and the way they regarded those whom they regarded as lesser creatures, never mind human beings. This mindset was not only applied to their own working class people but also inflicted on the Irish, the Indian subcontinent, the colonial Dutch of South Africa who were just plowed under by the superior Imperial yoke of that time. How cruelly things have turned out for their resident descendants who are so bewildered at the way history is busy repaying them for their past transgressions as the last vestige of the old Empire crumbles to dust and Britain is no more Christian, English or Anglo Saxon.

I love novels set in that period and the films made based on most of them but this particular one ?.....It's beyond me . The story , the characters .... so shallow. Lilia ups and leaves her daughter after becoming widowed, falls in love with a young peniless Italian much younger than her which is possibly the only realistic thing than often happens to older women, the inlaws' obsession with the child that is not even their blood ? Women didn't have any rights to their husbands' fortunes. They weren't in danger of losing it . Carolyn's intervention. And finally the baby's death which is criminal and seems like a footnote in the whole scheme of things . They were desperate to get the child to raise it " properly " and then his death seems so inconsequential. Gino evidently moves on to his next rich "fix" and in the end Carolyn says she's in love with Gino ? The whole storyline is rediculous ?!?! There's no depth in any of these characters....

It was in another nation NOT the U.S. and upper British Class perhaps had more means to avoid prosecution. NOT mho one of his best books. (I worked for NYC lawfirms - many laws and different in diff countries)

What a delightful movie 🎬 beautiful story🎭 line & so well👏 acted really worth watching 👀

[@lechat8533]

I don`t understand. What`s delightful about it? Harriet Herriton`s hysterical outbursts (however well-acted) were extremely annoying. A baby died because of some stupid idiots. A baby whose mother died because of giving birth to him. Harriet Herriton committed a crime and her brother Philip did nothing to prevent it. They weren`t punished for what they did and after just some days after the little baby`s passing, Philip is smiling and making jokes. In the end, not even the father or even the father seems to care very much. All seems hunky dory. I found the movie very depressing.

[@consiousness7612]

​@@lechat8533fiction is just a glimpse of reality where angels dread to tread. Reality is worse. There are father's and mothers who don't care for their children! Worse than this case!

I get what the author was trying to say but it's a messy story with unlikeable characters. I enjoyed A Room With a View and Howards End much more!

[@meridiefricker4156]

A terrific movie, very few advert’s which makes a pleasant change!

[@ludovica8221]

seriously? they stole a baby, caused it to die and then theres no justice ? I dont get it. Horrible people horrible story, great costumes acting and all that, but awful story and no real conclusion. As for Harriet she belongs in an insane asylum. Terrible. Really confusing, How was Miss Abbott connected to them ?

[@indrasubramaniam9579]

Most of these movies are sad but the baby dying a cruel death for no fault of his is heart wrenching! The movie started off with such beautiful locales but why did Period Movies and Novels deal with so much Grief! I really prefer our Modern times!

[@hemantgc2288]

The plot stretches the imagination. No remorse over the death of a baby, no criminal action against the abductress, depiction of Gino( and by extension, Italians) as a heartless, self seeking individual. The only thing the movie captures well is the pomposity of the English.

[@patriciaramsey5294]
