A Month by the Lake (John Irvin, 1995)

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.

This romantic comedy is set before before the onset of WWII. The lightweight plot focuses on a beautiful, elegant villa in the summer of 1937 where Miss Bentley has already spent sixteen summers with her father. Her father has died recently and the only English speaking guests are a group of Americans.

Esta comédia romântica se passa antes do início da Segunda Guerra Mundial. O enredo foca uma elegante mansão no verão de 1937, onde Miss Bentley passou dezesseis verões com seu pai, que faleceu recentemente e os únicos convidados que falam Inglês são um grupo de americanos.

Directed by John Irvin

Cast: Vanessa Redgrave, Edward Fox, Uma Thurman, Alida Valli, Alessandro Gassmann.

Based on novella by H. E. Bates.

Miss Beaumont's name means 'beautiful mountain'. This is in reference to the considerable height difference between Beaumont (Uma Thurman) and Major Wilshaw (Edward Fox).

This film also reunites Edward Fox with Vanessa Redgrave since their previous film Oh! Que Bela Guerra! (1969). There is a gap of twenty-six years between the two films.

The producer Robert Fox is the younger brother of Edward Fox (Major Wilshaw) and the former son-in-law of Vanessa Redgrave (Miss Bentley).

Edward Fox and Uma Thurman had previously co-starred in Robin Hood, o Herói dos Ladrões (1991), which was also directed by John Irvin.
