Editorial Reviews

A precocious Edwardian girl suffocating from the social norms is forced to choose between following her heart and obliging her family's wishes after falling for a handsome but unsuitable stranger during a trip to Italy. Based on author E.M. Forster's tale of forbidden love and scripted by Pride and Prejudice scribe Andrew Davies, director Nicholas Renton's playful period drama follows young Lucy Honeychurch as she takes a trip to Italy and exchanges a brief albeit life-altering kiss with the unsuitable George Emerson. Later, as Lucy's snooping chaperone attempts to keep her on the path laid out by her family, her engagement to the dull Cecil draws near, and her repressed feelings boil to the surface, she is taken aback to encounter the dashing object of her affections back in her homeland of England. What's a girl to do when her wedding date has been set in stone but the love of her life won't be standing at the alter? Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

September 15, 2009: I have always loved the book. The love between Lucy and George is so sweet. The supporting characters give it such color and layers to the pent-up society of the turn of the century.

If I have anything bad to say about the masterpiece theater adaptation is the ending. Why oh WHY!! would you kill off George. The book ends with them married and their life together ahead of them not with George dead on a WWI front and Lucy mourning for him in Italy.

All and all a terrific movie and a terrific book!
