What: The film Enchanted April begins in England. It is drizzly, it is gray, it is cold ...
... and Lottie Wilkins has just seen an advertisement for the month-long rental of a villa in Italy.
A pleasingly mismatched group of women travels out, and a couple of husbands end up trailing along behind.
Representative quote: "In my day husbands and beds were very seldom mentioned in the same breath. Husbands were taken seriously, as the only true obstacle to sin."
How to get it: Currently streaming on Netflix.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Please also consider the source material, Elizabeth von Arnim's glorious novel of almost the same name (why drop the definite article, movie??) --- the novel The Enchanted April is Rec. #113.
