Merchant Ivory Tribute

Nominated for eight Academy Awards® (1986), including Best Picture, and winner of three (Adapted Screenplay, Costume Design and Art Direction), A Room with a View is the film that established Merchant Ivory as the master of the romantic period piece. A brilliant adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel, A Room with a View tells the story of the coming of age of Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham-Carter). Longing to burst free from the repression of British upper class manners and mores, she must wrestle with her inner romantic longings to choose between the passionate George (Julian Sands) and the priggish but socially suitable Cecil (Daniel Day-Lewis). Boasting a brilliant supporting cast including Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Judi Dench, Denholm Elliot and Simon Callow, A Room with a View is one of the most charming and delightful romantic comedies ever filmed.

“Enchanting from beginning to end.” – Roger Ebert, At the Movies

Filming stopped for two rare, rainy weeks in Florence, while cast and crew waited for the blazing sun and blue skies called for in the script.
