Synopsis

Watch: Tea with Mussolini 1999 123movies, Full Movie Online – In 1935 a group of elderly British women, whom the Italians have named the Scorpioni, have chosen Italy, specifically Florence, as a place to live to blend their proper British sensibilities with their love of Italian art and culture. One of those Scorpioni, Mary Walsh (Dame Joan Plowright), works as the English secretary for Paolo Innocente (Massimo Ghini), who, in part because of his own wife’s adamant refusal, largely neglects his illegitimate adolescent son, Luca (Baird Wallace), despite Paolo’s want for Luca to grow up to be a proper young man, much like the English. Luca has lived in an orphanage since his dressmaker mother’s death, death a concept that Luca does not yet understand. As such, he often runs away looking for his mother. On a mutual agreement between Paolo and Mary, Mary becomes Luca’s guardian, she who will receive help in raising Luca by her fellow Scorpioni and financial help from Paolo as needed. Associated with the Scorpioni is a brash younger nouveau riche Jewish-American woman named Elsa Morgenthal (Cher), who, because of her affection for Luca’s mother to whom she owed money, sets up a trust for Luca’s future. Amongst the Scorpioni, Lady Hester Random (Dame Maggie Smith), the widow of the former ambassador to Italy, in particular and Elsa do not get along because of their fundamental outward differences. The life for the Scorpioni changes with the on-set of World War II, more specifically when Italy declares war on Britain and France. Despite all of the Scorpioni taken into custody of sorts by the Italians, they are eventually housed in the comforts of a hotel. Lady Hester wrongly believes it is her association with Mussolini (Claudio Spadaro) that has gotten them into their comfortable surroundings, but which in reality was arranged and paid for by Elsa. Luca, who has just returned to Italy after attending school in Austria, helps Elsa with her efforts to assist those persecuted in Italy. Luca, now a teenager, has fallen in love with Elsa. As such, Luca is jealous of Elsa’s professional and personal relationship with Italian lawyer Vittorio Fanfanni (Paolo Seganti). Elsa’s own situation becomes more precarious with the United States’ entrance into the war, the Nazis’ increasing persecution of Jews, and Luca discovering that Fanfanni has ulterior motives in his relationship with Elsa. Through it all, Mary still tries to be the voice of what is right to Luca, who may be tainted by his own immature teenaged thoughts during these difficult times..
Plot: Semi-autobiographical film directed by Franco Zeffirelli, telling the story of young Italian boy Luca’s upbringing by a circle of English and American women, before and during World War II.

Reviews:

Better than ‘The English Patient’?
or ‘San Gimignano never looked so good!’

In subject matter I do find that there are certain parallels between this film and ‘The English Patient’ – English finding themselves caught on foreign soil during the Second World War, German occupation of Italy, attitudes of high society to war, the timeless Italian countryside.

Personally, I found this film at the same time much deeper and much more enjoyable than ‘The English Patient’. Cher is a revelation – I have never been a great fan of hers, but I would say I am a reluctant convert as here she really shows her mettle – great on-screen presence, great timing, and great poise! Of course she is helped by a wonderful role here and some great costumes.

I must say, I am surprised this film has not won more awards.
