• A Charming Romantic Comedy About Flirtation, With Vanessa Redgrave And Edward Fox
  This sweet-natured romantic comedy found only a limited audience when it came out, probably because it's the story of two middle-aged people who find themselves improbably drawn to each other.
  Miss Bentley (Vanessa Redgrave), a woman of a certain age, has returned for a month to a resort villa on the shores of Lake Como where she and her father had spent summers for 16 years. With talk of war (it's 1937), there are no other English; the guests are Italian and two American ladies. But then Major Wilshaw... more info

  I really enjoyed this film, it's an entertaining romantic comedy. The 'Major Wilshaw' (Edward Fox) character is highly amusing as he chases after the young and pretty but shallow Miss Beaumont played by Uma Thurman.

• Month by the Lake
  I LOVED this film. I saw it on a quiet afternoon after returning from holiday in Italy....The views of the Italian lakes are simply wonderful and the whole atmopshere of the film reminds one of when time was slower and people were more "genteel".. It is set pre WWII and is a gentle comedy/drama. Perhaps for those who are over the first flush of youth, yet feel they have much much more to offer, and this film reminds them they do!
  It is a classic, which cannot fail to please.
