Synopsis
A Good Woman (2004) is a romantic comedy directed by Mike Barker, adapted from Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan and relocated to the sunlit Amalfi coast of 1930s Italy — watch it online on iFILM. Helen Hunt plays Mrs Erlynne, a glamorous American divorcée with a murky past who arrives among the vacationing English gentry and immediately sets tongues wagging.
Scarlett Johansson plays Ester, a young newlywed who suspects her husband is spending his evenings in the wrong company. The rumor machine works exactly as Wilde designed it: everyone is certain they know the truth, and everyone is wrong in the most revealing way possible. Tom Wilkinson and Stephen Campbell Moore fill out a cast that handles the wit with the right lightness of touch. Wilde's mechanics of gossip and misread motive translate cleanly into the sun-drenched setting — the comedy hasn't aged. Watch A Good Woman (2004) online on iFILM.
