The Draughtsman's Contract

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

Eh, do we care that the haunting and hillhouse are the same? Probably not since we mentioned Mr. blandings which is the same as the money pit.

So, how about: The Philadelphia story, Jane Eyre, The man who came to dinner, Laura, The Enchanted Cottage, Weekend at Bernie's, Housesitter, Dangerous Liasions, Age of Innocence, Enchanted April, Howard's End, The Great Gatsby...Oh wait, I don't have to mention 100 myself. Ok I 'll leave it at that.

― Wiggy (Wiggy), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

The Philadelphia Story was No.22, Enchanted April was No.20/19, The Man Who Came To Dinner is set in a townhouse as far as I recall.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

Fletch Lives

― whenuweremine (whenuweremine), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 02:07 (twenty years ago)

Does this include movies that are half in the city and half at the country house, and wherein people are forced to hash out their differences or battle their demons in the country because they are alone with themselves?

I saw a good French movie recently in this tradition. It was a relatively new movie, woman director, and it was about a famous writer, an up-and-coming writer, his singing teacher wife, and the famous writer's aspiring singer daughter. Can't remember the name.
