Event details
An adaptation of the novel by Henry James, about the Countess Eugenia and her brother Robert, expatriate Americans who have grown up in Europe.
In this delightfully droll Henry James adaptation, the lives and routines of the puritanical Wentworths of Boston are upended by the not-so-welcome arrival of European cousins one golden autumn. Lee Remick shines as the snooty and calculating Eugenia, a Baroness whose marriage to a German prince is on the fritz—while her dapper brother Felix pursues one of the Wentworth daughters.
With a witty script by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (A Room With a View), the first in Merchant Ivory’s Henry James triptych explores the social clashes between America and the Continent.
In this 40th anniversary re-release, produced by James Ivory himself, the period trappings have become synonymous with Merchant Ivory productions.
