For 16 years Miss Bentley has been spending April at an elegant hillside villa on Lake Como. This year, 1937, her London society artist father has recently died and the only other English-speaking guests are brash Americans. Then Major Wilshaw arrives. He suggests they meet for cocktails and Miss Bentley stands him up -- not even thinking about it -- as she helps the new nanny of an Italian family settle in. Miss Beaumont, a tall, young American who has dropped out of finishing school in Switzerland, is bored and finds some amusement in flirting with the major, whose libido is awakened for the first time since before the great war. And Miss Bentley now finds more about the major to admire than his ears.

Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatThoroughly enjoyable love story set at an Italian resort by Lake Como in 1937.
USA Today - 6/10 by Mike ClarkVanessa Redgrave has never been more likable on screen than in her buoyantly athletic turn here.
User Review - 10/10 by Jason SCinematography of this enchanting period piece is stunning. Vanessa Regdrave and Edward Fox Pitt are truly mesmerising in their respective roles.
User Review - 10/10 by Jennifer MA great cast, great cinematography, and a charming story. Vanessa Redgrave, Edward Fox, and Uma Thurman were all a joy.
User Review - 10/10 by Helena Kwatch this again as i'm going to lake como this month..it is so lovely and beautiful..the story is touching and real and the setting spectacular..gorgeous italian boys too mamma mia..don't see Miss Bentley as a spinster tho or you'll miss the point of her character
User Review - 10/10 by Tamara HA great cast, great cinematography, and a charming story. Vanessa Redgrave, Edward Fox, and Uma Thurman were all a joy.
User Review - 10/10 by Christian KA beautiful love story on the eve of the second world war, on beautiful Lake Como
User Review - 8/10 by Leah Kquirky characters and a really fun time for a period film
User Review - 8/10 by Private UInteresting character piece, nice light entertainment - the beautiful Lake Como setting almost steals the show. Redgrave does a nice job with the "spinster with a past" character she's given. Edward Fox is the quintessential stiff English gentleman. Uma Thurman is an odd casting choice, and seems out of place with the ensemble.
User Review - 8/10 by Cathy FQuirky but lovely. I love the scenery of Lake Como in Italy. You get lost in it. Like a warm blanket on a cold day, the movie fills you with comfort as the different characters dance around each other's true emotions until honesty bares all.
