It is a rare thing today to see such a beautiful film. Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judi Dench are stunning as the two sisters, Janet and Ursula Widdington. They compliment each other beautifully. Joining them in the role of their housekeeper, Dorcas, is the ever talented Miriam Margoyles. Daniel Bruhl is a fresh new talent as Andrea Marowski. Natascha McElhone is also very good as the spoiler Olga Daniloff. David Warner is suitably revolting as Dr.Francis Mead who is silly enough to want somebody who would never want him in a thousand years. The rest of the supporting cast as very good. I particularly liked the beautiful scenery and the recreation of period. This is a truly charming story with everything going for it. What a great pity it is that we no longer see as many films as this classic.
