I cannot recommend this movie more highly - for anyone over 60 - for widows - and for women who love to look at delicious men! Starring Joan Plowright, one of Britain's most celebrated actresses and introducing Rupert Friend, whom I predict will be a famous leading man before long. Go here to read a synopsis . Here is a cast bio for Rupert:
London's newest young actor, Rupert Friend attended the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts, and has already made a name for himself in such films as "The Libertine" and "Pride and Prejudice."
In Mrs. Palfrey, Rupert has risen to the challenge of playing a lead role - and when your co-star is someone as seasoned as Joan Plowright, that's saying something.
The movie is a little slow in places, but the characters are endearing and lovely to look at (at least Rupert is!)

Usage: It is quite interesting that this word has popped up on the Web, the greatest source of reading material the world has ever known. Irony will never cease.

Nothing produces such odd results as trying to get even.

I love Joan and Rupert doesn't look bad either!! will definitely check it out
LOVE the new word!
I have seen this film, Judy...And I LOVED it! I agree with you that this young man has a very very BRIGHT Future! I thought Joan Plowright was wonderful and the whole film very very satisfying...! I too, would highly recomend it!
That is quite a word! And writing about it during Harry Potter Book Mania, too! (lol)
This will be the next to go on my Netflix listing.

You found my word...that's me. The movie sounds good; my kind of movie.
Your daughter and my son...he thinks soneone will after several days find me in pieces scattered in the forest all done by a blogger. Maybe by a bear, but not a blogger.
You always have good movie recommendations
It was a lovely movie, Judy!
I enjoy going to art house matinees by myself. I have recently enjoyed ONCE, THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN, SWEET LAND, and PARIS JE T'AIME.
Let's make a date and I'll buy the popcorn!
Okay, I'm writing that movie down on my must see list.
I love your new word discoveries.
Thanks, Judy, for this tip. I love this type of film. I also love Netflix because in order to see some of the films I would like to see I have to go into the City to the "Artsy Houses". But after their 1st run in the Ritz I can get it through Netflix. By the way, The Wall St. Journal said yesterday that Netflix had lost 55,000 customers in the last quarter. WOW! Wonder why?
I will definitly order "Mrs Palfrey" when it becomes available.
Did you ever see a 1994 film with Mia Farrow and Joan Plowright called "Widow's Peak?" It takes place in Ireland and has a few twists and turns that are fun. That's all I will say.
Hi, Kenju,
That sounds like a good movie. Did you see Mrs. Henderson? another good one.
Unfortunately, I didn't see Vicki. Her schedule was so packed, and I could tell that she was making time for me. When I was free, she wasn't and vice versa. She's a very busy lady. I didn't go to the zoo either...went to the aquarium instead. The zoo will come at another time, no doubt.
interestng movie. I will rent it when I get the chance. Thanks for the recommendation!
aha, now you got me curious, will have to watch!
I have to see this film! Thanks for the tip and the link!
