Review of A Good Woman

I really liked this version of Oscar Wilde play.The idea to put the story in the 30's and Italian riviera is very appealing.The photography of the Italian landscape is excellent and plus you get to see some incredible Italian villas of the place. All the actors are OK,but the trio,Roger Hammond,John Standing and especially Tom Wilkinson are amazing.Also pretty good Milena Vukotic as the contessa. Scarlett Johansson is pretty good also,she manages to look the innocent victim of circumstances she has to be. If i have one objection is to the casting of Helen Hunt in the lead role.Hunt is an excellent actress but not in the role of the femme fatal that creates a stir everywhere she goes.I would have cast someone like Virginia Madsen,who has done this sort of role. Overall though,an enjoyable movie,one of the best versions of Wilde on screen.
