Adapted from
William Trevor's novella of the same name, the made-for-cable
My House in Umbria stars
Dame Maggie Smith as
Mrs. Emily Delahunty, a British romance novelist living in Italy. While on a shopping excursion to Milan,
Emily barely survives a terrorist train bombing. Though she recovers fairly rapidly from her ordeal, three others -- a German journalist a British general and a traumatized orphan girl -- still bear profound physical and emotional wounds. In the spirit of democracy and compassion, the pluck
Mrs. Delahunty invites her fellow survivors to recuperate at her lavish Italian estate. This ersatz family gets along famously -- at least until the arrival of the orphan's priggish uncle, American entomologist
Tom Riversmith (
Chris Cooper), who strongly disapproves of
Mrs. Delahunty's carefree lifestyle. Filmed on location in Tuscany and Rome,
My House in Umbria debuted May 25, 2003, on the
HBO cable service.
