20 economist sunlsuntribune the arts saturday feb 18 2006 hunt johansson shine in difficult roles a good woman starring helen hunt scarlett johansson and tom wilkinson directed by mike barker based on oscar wildes play lady windermeres fan as i like to go into movies cold i didnt know a good woman was based on oscar wildes famous play i was amazed the filmmakers had crowded so many cliches into the script then it occurred to me they were the real things seems jtveve used mr wildes deliriously sarcastic and ironic words in our everyday language to the point of banality but thats not a complaint against the film as much as an observation on mr wildes endur ing popularity anne brodie on movies the film stars ms johansson as mrs windermere whose husband develops a mysterious association with an older woman with a past ms hunt is mrs erlynne the older woman fleeing debt and disgrace in manhattan she lands in italy looking for a rich husband and new start she becomes part of an aristo cratic english american commu nity summering on italys gorgeous amalfi coast theyre pampered and wealthy with little to do but relax take tea throw parties and gossip about each other and by gum they love to rip into mrs erlynne of course mrs erlynne is despised by the women who know a home wrecker when they see one shes rather more accepted by the men some of whom are willing to tie their carts to her wellused one shes smart wily and poor and soon shes spending a fortune i wont give away the story but i will say there is such upset and heartbreak along the way the film becomes almost heart breakingly difficult to watch j wont give away the story but i will say there is such upset and heartbreak along the way the film becomes almost heart breakingly difficult to watch mr wildes grasp of human nature is acute he knows about over bred flib bertigibbets and he knows about pain have you ever read de pro- fundis yikes ms hunt and ms johansson are top notch in these difficult roles both seem to soak up their charac ters essences making an old play throb with contemporary meaning oscar nominated english actor mr wilkinson plays tuppy a lone ly man with a fortune who is will ing to take on mrs erlynne repu tation and all because he loves her intelligence he says he has no brain but he has a heart and a brain he can see past the superficialities of his class a good woman first
