Tea with Mussolini

I watched it last night too. Yes it is on BBC catch up. Wonderful cast.

I couldn’t believe how many ‘dames’ were in it!

Its supposed to be based (somewhat loosely) upon fact in respect that there were a group of English ladies living in Florence at that time.

Remember seeing it at the cinema and enjoying it.
Looking forward to going to the cinema again, have really missed it.

I watched it a few years back, then again not long ago. Judy Dench is such a good all round actress and I'll watch anything that she stars in.

It made me think of that documentary that was on a while back featuring all the dames. If I remember right Maggie Smith said Judy Dench got all the best roles. I hadn’t realised they’d all been in a film together (although it was probably mentioned in the programme).

I enjoyed it too. It was actually based on Franco Zeffirelli’s boyhood. He wrote the screenplay and directed it, made it so interesting once I’d realised that.

I saw it at the cinema years ago, and recorded it this week. Judi & Cher is a wonderful combination

I watched it recently for the second time. It is such a good film with an excellent cast.

I love that film. The part of Italy where it takes place is so old-fashioned and charming. When I was there on holiday about 20nyears ago I remembered that my mother had been there on a school trip which she remembered vividly and had such happy memories of. That would have been at about the same time - the mid-thirties. I think I have the DVD. Will dig it out and watch it again.

This is one of my favourite films ?

Watched it a few times, every time it’s on I watch it again. Loved everything about it . Impressive cast, superb performance!

I love this film. Definitely one I can watch over again.

I love this film.I remember watching it with my DD one afternoon when she was ill and off college.We had no idea what to expect and cuddled up to watch it .It's lovely.

Lovely film - and semi-autobiographical, by Franco Zeffirelli.
Wish I’d known it was on! I’d have recorded it.

I love this film.I could watch it again and again.

Effie Gray is on catchup now. I don’t have time to watch everything these days.

Yes - lovely film. I watched it on tv during one of the lockdowns last year.

Lovely film. I watched it on iplayer the other evening. Full of bonkers old English Ladies who are marvellous.
