Synopsis: Starring Kate
Beckinsale as Flora Poste, a London society girl, and Joanna Lumley as Flora's
friend and mentor, this adaptation of Stella Gibbon's novel comes from director
John Schlesinger (Billy Liar, Midnight Cowboy).
This heart-warming
comedy is full of charm and clever satire. Recently orphaned, Flora ignores the
sage advice of Mrs. Sage (Lumley) and moves to the country to live on a
decrepit farm with her eccentric relatives.
Fancying herself as a
writer, Flora encounters perfect material for her novel in the humorously odd
collection of country caricatures. In her own inimitable way, Flora sets about
creating order form their chaos and in the process she fills their lives with
light and laughter.
