"The Golden Bowl"
2000
Directed by James Ivory

The Merchant-Ivory team again tackles Henry James with this "gripping drama of love and adultery" (Jonathan Foreman, New York Post). The love between a penniless American socialite and a financially struggling Italian aristocrat becomes a scandalous affair when they both marry others for money. The scenario is complicated further because the spouses of the former lovers are father and daughter. With Kate Beckinsale, James Fox, Anjelica Huston, Nick Nolte, Jeremy Northam, and Uma Thurman.  130 minutes.
