Great movie!!!One of the best wartime movies I have ever seen!The city of Florence and San Gimignano provide a beautiful backdrop to a movie that revolves mainly around a group of ladies in Italy during the height of WWII.TEA WITH MUSSOLINI is about friendship,trust and false ideals and is a story told vividly by a very talented cast.I don't think this movie would have made such an impression on me had there not been a Smith,Plowright or Dench.Each character was played by an actor who seemed perfect for the part.Maggie Smith,particularly,gave one of the best performances I have ever seen as Lady Hester and even Cher(which came as a surprise to me!)was quite impressive too.One character that could have been made more interesting was that of young Lucas but all in all this movie couldn't have been better!
