• Tea With Mussolini: One hour and 57 minutes, 1999. The fabulous Judi Dench and Maggie Smith head a formidable female cast in this story of Florence, Italy just at the brink of World War II. A group of self-delusional English ladies believe their very Englishness will save them from the discomforts of the escalating war.
A rich, brash American woman and an orphaned Italian boy play vital roles in keeping the English biddies reasonably cocooned against the war’s effects. Lots of gentle humor.
Probably a “chick movie,” but Herb liked it anyway. If you really like this film, try also “Strangers in Good Company” and “Enchanted April.”
