Product Description

Germany released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), German ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), German ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: One of Oscar Wilde's most popular plays is given a new screen interpretation in this period comedy. In New York in the early '30s, Mrs. Erlynne (Helen Hunt) is a widow who lives comfortably through the largesse of several married men, and when she runs out of wealthy suitors in Manhattan, she decides to find greener pastures among the wealthy elite of Italy's Amalfi coast. Mrs. Erlynne sets her sights on Robert Windermere (Mark Umbers), a wealthy Englishman who is married to the young, innocent and very beautiful Meg (Scarlett Johansson). Mrs. Erlynne gingerly tries to separate Robert from his wife and his money, fueling suspicions within Amalfi society as well as the audience that they are involved. Humiliated and ready to beat him at his own game, Meg begins to consider the advances of the handsome Lord Darlington (Stephen Campbell Moore), one of her husband's close friends. In the midst of all the attempted infidelity, the genially eccentric Tuppy (Tom Wilkinson) struggles to win Mrs. Erlynne's hand, while only one of the interconnected parties know that she carries a shocking secret. A Good Woman was based on Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan, with its title drawn from that show's subtitle, 'A Play About a Good Woman.' ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide ...A Good Woman (2004) ( Le seduttrici )

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Wilde Adaptation Since 1952!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2006
Verified Purchase
While I'm willing to be swayed by a film, I will admit I oft go into a viewing with preconceptions (thus requiring the need for a second viewing so I can be more objective). This time around: 1- I'm not a fan of Ms Johansson; 2- Mr Wilkinson, I feel, has been in altogether far too many films of late and I'm bored with him; 3- Recent adaptations of Wilde's works have suffered greatly by their directors' attempts to 'open up' the claustrophobic parlour parlance with scenic inserts in an attempt to be nominated for a Cinematography Oscar at the cost of crippling the cadence inherent in Mr W's plays; 4- learning that some of the cast were Americans, feared that they'd do a gawdawful job with their English accents; and 5- Lady Windermere's Fan is not among my favourite Wilde plays.

This film did not require a second viewing. At least not for me to thoroughly enjoy it. It may require a second viewing, however, for me to search for all of its pitfalls. And that can be fairly enjoyable in itself, mind.

None of the main actors, including Ms Johansson, appear to be 'acting', if you will. They are their characters, they inhabit them. It feels right and not forced. Mr Wilkinson does a better job here than with the Rev from EARNEST: light with hidden gravitasse as opposed to cartoonish ecumincalism.

The pacing is great AND the director gets to 'open up' the world of his movie. Though with a different setting (Italy) and time (1930s), his transitions and inserts keep up with the tempo of Wilde's words (even if it's a pity many of them are still excised in this abbreviated adaptation) while injecting fresh energy into how and where scenes are played out. And I did like how this tale - or expose - of social scandal played out within the circle of British and American upper-class while surrounded by one of the more passionate and explosive tribes, the Italians.

This was a good, solid movie, even without orcs, explosions and cgi talking cars (though these can be good, too). Gives me lots of hope for further Wilde adaptations... which I know will probably end up being less Wilde and more bewildering in their inane executions. But hey...

4.0 out of 5 stars One hanky, two thumbs
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2008

Helen Hunt has a filmography with a wide span but is probably best remembered for the 'Miss Cutie Pie' roles she established in the television series "Mad About You" and the award-winning "As Good As It Gets". In this movie, based on Oscar Wilde's play "Lady Windermere's Fan", she impressed me the way a fine wine carefully aged to perfection might. Add to that Tom Wilkinson's best performance since "The Governess", good support from Scarlett Johansson, Stephen Campbell Moore, and Mark Umbers; and top it all off with costumes and sets which will transport one back to the 30s and there's the formula needed for a truly good movie. Mrs. Erlynne (Hunt) leads a rather dissolute life, is considered something of a jezebel by the members of high society, and she has a secret. When she finds she must quickly get out of New York she notices the Windemeres (Moore and Johansson) are vacationing in Italy and sees the handsome husband as a possible `easy mark'. You just know it's going to get `sticky' somewhere, somehow, but unless you've already seen Wilde's play you're going to be surprised--and delighted. Some of the minor supporting roles are just a tad overdone, but they are fortunately left behind when things start heating up, so think of them as comic relief and sit back and enjoy. And keep that hanky handy.

It took me a long time (and about five tries) to get into this movie (blame it on lack of sleep and distractions), but I'm glad I was finally able to watch the whole thing. Overall it's a beautifully done movie with a great cast. I loved Helen Hunt and this was the first time I'd seen her in a dramatic role. She was amazing and so beautiful. I also loved Scarlett Johansson and she played her role wonderfully. The scenery is breathtaking and unless I missed something, there was absolutely no swearing or nudity, which is a rarity in movies these days. This is based on an Oscar Wilde Play called Lady Windermere's Fan, which I'm curious about. I'm definitely interested in reading it now. But back to the movie-I loved that this is a period piece. Those movies are always intriguing. I admit the movie moved a little slowly but it's worth watching for the twist in the storyline. The ending was really nice as well, although it does leave the twist unfinished.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Remake of Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windemere's Fan"
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2010
Verified Purchase
A beautiful period piece richly packed with authentic costumes from the 1930's, beautiful locations, and great acting.

The title "A Good Woman" comes from a line in Oscar Wilde's play entitled "Lady Windemere's Fan" and it is true to Wilde's play with very small additons or changes that leave the original plot intact. For instance, Wilde's play takes place in the later part of the 19th century while "A Good Woman" takes place in the 1930's. But it is a timeless play and could even have been remade in today's time period.

Helen Hunt plays the part of a scandulous woman who has "been around the block" and who has run out of wealthy married men to sustain her lifestyle in America. Her acting is very well done as is that of all the other characters. Helen's character, sells what jewelry she has left, buys a new trouseau and heads to the Italian coast to mingle with the wealthy there in the hope of upgrading her situation. Those she comes in involved with, make for an intriguing story.

After seeing it on TCM, when it was in progress, I knew that I had to have it. I am very happy that I purchased it and, if you are one who likes period pieces, with great costumes, beautiful color, actual Italian seaside locations and scenery, you will very much ejoy this dvd and its story.

The resolution, sound and color, are superior. I highly recommend its purchase. I recieved it carefully packaged, and within a short time after ordering it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very pleasant film to watch
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2023
Verified Purchase
This is a very light romantic story, based on Oscar Wild's play "Lady Windermere’s fan. The main points of the play are kept, as is a lot of the brilliant dialogue. It is much lighter than the original play but on the whole it presents a nice alternative to the original story.
The actors are all very good, especially Tom Wilkinson.
As long as one accepts that this is not the original play by Oscar Wilde, the film offers a very pleasant viewing. I certainly recommend it.
The only drawback from this particular DVD is that there are no subtitles. These would have been a great help to some people whose hearing is not in top form and also there are one or two scenes where the sound is not very clear.

Quelle idée exquise d'avoir choisi Amalfi comme cadre pour la légendaire pièce de Wilde : "L'éventail de Lady Windermere" - transportée dans les années 30 ! Un régal pour l'esprit, la vue, un festival de trouvailles littéraires et de somptuosités cinématographiques. Les maisons patriciennes sont ravissantes, décorées et parées comme des palais, riches de meubles baroques, de bouquets exubérants, de tableaux ravissants. L'adaptation est pétillante, la mise-en-scène brillante et légère, étourdissante comme un feu d'artifices. L'interprétation est au-dessus de tout éloge, Helen Hunt magistrale d'ambiguïté, de finesse, d'ironie, Scarlett Johanssen parfaite, comme toujours. (Les messieurs sont très bien aussi). J'ai acheté ce dvd sans trop savoir à quoi m'attendre, et me suis régalé. Le génie de Wilde a trouvé là une relecture idéale, un modèle de tact, d'élégance, de panache.
