Cast

Plot

Hampstead Court Housewives Club: Two women in the living room with fireplace. Outside it's raining cats and dogs.One of the women reads a Book (a Biography of Madame Du Barry); the other woman is nervously looking in the room and finally decides to look up the newspaper. When she sees a certain announcement she has to talk, saying to the other woman how beautiful it would be to leave dreadful London and go south to Italy, renting a Castle in 2 or more people, splitting the costs. So they find the way to San Salvatore and the Enchanted April is there form the very minute they arrived. No need to tell that husbands, lovers etc. etc. are popping up and passing by, and the italians who knows how they understand the english people. A mixture of slapstick comedy and on the other side the rarefied figure of Ann Harding
