SCR Oscar Wilde, Howard Himelstein

CAST Helen Hunt, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Wilkinson, Stephen Campbell Moore, Roger Hammond

In 1930, Mrs. Erlynne, who describes herself as poor and infamous, driven from New York society by jealous wives, sees a news photo of wealthy Lord Windermere and his young wife: she heads for the Amalfi Coast to be among the rich and famous for ‘the season’ and to snare Mr. Windermere. Gossips twitter as he spends his afternoons with her, his wife blissfully innocent as she blushingly fends off attentions from a young English nobleman, an international playboy who thinks he’s in love. Mrs. Erlynne is also pursued by a worldly-wise older English nobleman. Mrs. Windermere’s 20th birthday party approaches, where all plays out amid numerous amoral Wildean aphorisms. –IMDb

Not quite an accurate retelling of Wilde's 'Lady Windemere's fan' - with the nationalities, era and place altered, and a lot of quotes thrown in haphazardly - , 'A Good Woman' is still a quite enjoyable experience thanks to some great performances and an idyllic representation of the art-deco thirties in Italy.
