But the beauty of the place is seductive, and all four women find themselves changing as their tensions dissipate in the warmth of the Italian sun. When Lottie and Rose arrive at San Salvatore, they find that their two housemates are already there and have taken the best accommodations. Fisher (Joan Plowright), and socialite Lady Caroline (Polly Walker), who wants to escape the London social whirl. They take it, signing up two other women sight unseen to help with costs - imperious dowager Mrs. Lottie (Josie Lawrence) and Rose (Miranda Richardson), each married to difficult men, meet in dreary, rain-drenched London and are both attracted to a newspaper ad offering an Italian villa for rent during the month of April. A gloriously escapist film based on the 1922 novel by Elizabeth von Arnim, Enchanted April (1992) extols the joys of a vacation in Italy and its salutary effects on four lonely, bored women and two marriages.
