Thank you for posting this movie. I watched it on t.v. over 30 years ago. I could never understand how the inlaws could interfere with the baby since they had no right to take the child. It is a pity that the father did not press charges for kidnapping and manslaughter. Poor baby. It would been nice to see the sister in prison in Italy,she would probably go insane.

[@regsun7947]

The English--no doubt they felt the child would have much better prospects in their care, and seeing as how they'd lost their son likely thought it was within their rights to do just that. I tend to think the English inherited their entitlement issues from the Romans.

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.

I appreciate the characters played by the tremendous actors & the Allegory in almost every scene in character, particularly the jug of milk at the end. So much play at that scene, 'Don't cry over spilt milk'. Thankyou for the movie.

I thought the milk scene was odd. It was possibly breast milk.

[@Kath-Goldenarrow]

Thought it went deeper than 'spilt milk'. A reminder than he was responsible for what happened to that child, he knew it was being kidnapped but did nothing to stop it, even after the last meeting with the father. The poor child's milk which he will never drink again

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. An excellent watch with brilliant acting & the spot on accurate historical images of that period.

"...as the last vestige of the old Empire crumbles to dust and Britain is no more Christian, English or Anglo Saxon." You make it sound like, it's happening to them. They're the ones in control and they're the ones changing the demographics & letting Britain crumble. And it you think they're actually paying for their transgressions, think again. Their life will be the same. It is actually the average citizens who end suffering the consequences of THEIR CHOICES.

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.

[@michaelbellingham719]

Where Angels Fear to Tread is a 1905 novel by E. M. Forster. The title comes from a line in Alexander Pope's poem An Essay on Criticism: "For fools rush in where angels fear to tread". The BBC adapted the novel for television in 1966 as a Play of the Month. In 1991 it was made into a film by Charles Sturridge, starring Rupert Graves, Giovanni Guidelli, Helen Mirren, Helena Bonham Carter, and Judy Davis.[1] A ten-part radio adaptation of the novel was broadcast on BBC Radio 4.[2] An opera based on the novel by Mark Weiser was premiered at the Peabody Institute of Music in 1999, and received its professional premiere at Opera San Jose in 2015.[3] Plot summary On a journey to Tuscany with her young friend and travelling companion Caroline Abbott, widowed Lilia Herriton falls in love with Gino, a handsome Italian man much younger than herself, and decides to stay. Furious, her dead husband's family send Lilia's brother-in-law Philip to Italy to prevent a misalliance, but he arrives too late. Lilia has already married Gino and becomes pregnant again. She gives birth to a son, but dies in childbirth. Caroline decides to go to Tuscany again to save the child from what she perceives will be a difficult life. Not to be outdone, the Herritons send Philip again to Italy, this time accompanied by his sister Harriet, to save the family's reputation. In the public eye, they make it known that it is both their right and their duty to travel to Italy to obtain custody of the infant so that he can be raised as an Englishman. Secretly, though, they have no regard for the child, only public appearances. Philip and Harriet meet Caroline in Monteriano. Both Philip and Caroline eventually fall under the charm of Italy, which causes them to waver in their original purpose. They further learn that Gino is fiercely devoted to his and Lilia's infant son. As they admit defeat in their mission however, Harriet kidnaps the baby, but the baby is accidentally killed when the carriage he is in overturns. Gino, hearing the news, attacks Phillip, but the two are reconciled after Caroline's mediation. Gino's physical outburst toward Philip in response to the news makes Philip realise what it is like to truly be alive. The guilt felt by Harriet causes her to lose her mind. Finally, as Philip and Caroline return to England, he realises that he is in love with Caroline but that he can never be with her, because she admits, dramatically, to being in love with Gino. Writing With a working title of "The Rescue", Forster began the novel in late 1904, completing ten chapters in one month.[4] He modelled the character of Philip Herriton on Professor Edward J Dent.[5] "He knew this, and took an interest in his own progress", said Forster. The author proposed to call the book "Monteriano" but the publishers didn't like it. It was Dent who contributed the final title.[6] Critical reception The reviewer for UK daily newspaper The Manchester Guardian (forerunner of The Guardian) wrote in August 1905: "Where Angels Fear to Tread is not at all the kind of book that its title suggests. It is not mawkish or sentimental or commonplace. The motive of the story […] is familiar and ordinary enough, but the setting and treatment of this motive are almost startlingly original". The review noted "a persistent vein of cynicism which is apt to repel, but the cynicism is not deep-seated. […] [I]t takes the form of a sordid comedy culminating, unexpectedly and with a real dramatic force, in a grotesque tragedy." It concluded by saying, "We wonder whether EM Forster could be a little more charitable without losing in force and originality. An experiment might be worth trying."[7] Lionel Trilling wrote, "Forster's first novel appeared in 1905. The author was 26, not a remarkable age at which to have written a first novel unless the novel be, as Forster's was, a whole and mature work dominated by a fresh and commanding intelligence".[

[@cocobloco5056]

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....

[@patriciajoubert426]

It is odd but it seemed that once the reverend at the church knew about the baby the mother felt obligated to put on a show of taking the boy in for his sister's sake. They said Gino would only get the dead wife's money.
