Florence, Italy, on the brink of WWII: it was a time of social unrest and, of course...afternoon tea. Prewar Florence is the place to be for any proper British woman who relishes culture and the arts. These ladies have everything they could ever want or needincluding a promise from dictator Mussolini himself that not even the imminent world war will impose upon their lifestyle. But when itappears that his word is not kept, and these expatriateswho chose to stay in Italy instead of seeking refuge in their own countryare in trouble, it takes a young outcast boy and a brazen American woman (Cher) to keep them in the high life and out of harm's way.

I haven't seen the film very often since its premiere in the movie theater, but it's clear to me now, after seeing it again, how much of a service it did to the general acceptance of wartime Italy. It's of little use, though. It's still always just the evil and one-sided Germany in the regular movies, but Italy lived with its Duce for an entire 11 years longer... The fates of the elderly English ladies and one American Jewish woman are chosen with grace and deliberation.
