Where Angels Fear to Tread

Sumptuous adaptation of E.M. Forster's 1905 novel stars Helen Mirren as Lilia Herriton, a widowed early 20th-century Englishwoman who, while on an Italian holiday with a friend (Helena Bonham Carter), falls for and weds a Tuscan man (Giovanni Guidelli) half her age. It's then that Lilia's first husband's incensed family travels to Italy in hopes of "straightening her out." Rupert Graves, Judy Davis, Barbara Jefford co-star; directed by Charles Sturridge ("Brideshead Revisited"). 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
