A Good Woman (2004) Review

In the 1930s, an American socialite Mrs Erlynne creates a scandal in the high society of the Amalfi Coast in Italy when she seems to be interested in the newly married Lord Windermere. But is everything as it first may seem?

⭐️⭐️

The drama with A Good Woman is that everything actually has a very simple and easy explanation but is never actually something that happens. It really could have been so much easier if Robert Windermere had actually been honest with his new wife Meg instead of keeping secrets from her. It was really easy and obvious to see why everyone assumed he was having an affair with Mrs. Erlynne when that couldn’t be further from the truth, but paying her money just raised suspicions on it all.

Tuppy was very interested in Mrs, Erlynne and quite frankly you cannot help but feel sorry for him as he wanted nothing more than to spoil a woman. I guess it does make you realise just how strange this stage of life was, especially when it came to the very rich people. Not forgetting that Lord Darlington is a total snake and doing all he can to get closer to Meg!

Meg didn’t even have any idea that the whole place was gossiping about her husband, and doesn’t realise that he is actually protecting her from her mother who had turned up as she married a very wealthy man. Considering she did not really know much about her and actually painted a rather nice picture in her own head.

The main reason I decided to watch this film was for Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johansson as quite frankly I am a big fan of them both. The thing is though the story is a little bit dull and doesn’t really engross you enough to be entertaining. Tom Wilkinson puts in a good performance in a supporting role.
