In this quaint Irish comedy about a remote town run by the large number of widows, who are led by the monarchical Mrs. Counihan (Joan Plowright), Natasha Richardson is a newly arrived English widow who brings sex appeal and the possibility of mischief when she starts courting Counihan's befuddled son (Adrian Dunbar). This sets in motion a mystery akin to an Agatha Christie tale, led by suspicious Mia Farrow. The setup is fine and the acting first-rate, but the final act forces its hand far too soon. What starts off as an accessible film turns into a prize only for those who liked Enchanted April and similar movies. --Doug Thomas

Summary: There's a new girl in town...
Comment: In Kilshannon, Ireland, widows are as plentiful as freckles on a redhead. They are all ruled by Mrs. Doyle-Counihan (Joan Plowright) and all proprieties must take place. But, there's a new girl in town, Mrs. Edwina Broome (Natasha Richardson) and she's dating the most eligible bachelor in town Godfrey Doyle-Counihan (Adrian Dunbar). Unfortunately, she gains the emnity of Katharine O'Hara (Mia Farrow). When O'Hara turns up missing, Edwinna is the natural suspect.
Of course, no one is who they seem and everyone has secrets. If you enjoy comedies of manners, you're going to like this film. One disappointment is that I expected more Irish accents than I heard.

Summary: Widows' Peak
Comment: I thought this was wonderful. I am not a big Mia Farrow fan, but I thought she did a fantastic performance. The scenery was beautiful and the ending was so justified.

Summary: Widow's Peak
Comment: An excellent movie - with a strange and bizarre twist! Very funny and as a British film fan, a must have for any collection. Joan Plowright is an amazing actress - right along with Judi Dench. If you like British comedy and wit - this is great! Mia Farrow does a great job with the accent - and i always love to see Natasha Richardson in any movie! They have remarkable performances - you have to stick it out to the very end - for that is when you get the whole story.
