SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Set in the 1930s on the beautiful Italian Riviera, A GOOD
WOMAN is an elegant, witty, romantic comedy based on Oscar
Wilde’s “Lady Windermere’s Fan.”
A young couple’s marriage is put in jeopardy by high-society
gossip of an affair blossoming. Robert Windermere (Mark Umbers)
is accused with providing a secret allowance for Mrs. Erlynne
(Helen Hunt), a vampish older woman of ill repute, whilst
his wife Meg Windermere (Scarlett Johansson), courts the attention
of Lord Darlington (Stephen Campbell Moore), a notorious playboy.
Mrs. Erlynne’s arrival on the Amalfi coast draws the
attention of all men on the Riviera, in particular that of
Lord Augustus “Tuppy” (Tom Wilkinson), who proposes
to her at his first opportunity.
Events boil to the surface at Meg’s 21st birthday party,
forcing Meg to abandon her party with the intention of eloping
with the predatory Lord Darlington. When the truth begins
to emerge, it becomes apparent that the rumors of affairs
were mere hearsay, but a darker secret of family ties lies
beneath them. Mrs. Erlynne sacrifices her chance of a happy
marriage to Lord Augusts to allow Meg the opportunity to escape
from her mistake of running away with Lord Darlington.
Happily reunited with her husband, Meg confesses her sins
to Tuppy, thereby clearing Mrs. Erlynne’s name. He chases
after her, catching up with her on her departing plan and
gains forgiveness. Only Lord Darlington is left with the wind
briefly knocking out of his sails.
