Enchanted April (1991) - Miranda Richardson, Josie Lawrence, Polly Walker, Joan Plowright, Alfred Molina, Michael Kitchen, Jim Broadbent

This cinematic gem is about the civilizing influence of Italy on beleaguered Londoners, both male and female. For the viewer, it's like taking a mini-trip to Italy - a gorgeously filmed enchantment. The story, adapted from Elizabeth von Arnim's 1922 novel, follows four English women who, unhappy with their lives, take a holiday in a beautiful Italian villa.
