‘Enchanted April’ to be screened at Movie Night at the Museum

The film tells the story of four English women who decide to leave rainy 1920s London for an April stay in an Italian villa on the sunny Mediterranean. 

Lotty Wilkins (Josie Lawrence) and Rose Arbuthnot (Miranda Richardson) know each other only slightly through their ladies club but make the decision to join forces and travel to Italy, hoping to bring some joy into their dreary lives. 

Because they need help with the expenses, they invite the elderly Mrs. Fisher (Joan Plowright) and the very wealthy and beautiful Lady Caroline Dester (Polly Walker) to join them.  Based on Elizabeth von Arnim's 1922 novel “The Enchanted April,” the film follows the experiences of the four diverse women as their friendship grows and their lives change for the better during a month under the Italian sun.
