star in

A film by John Irvin

WIDOWS PEAK

Malice. Revenge. Murder.

It's just another day in the country!

A scandalous comedy where nothing is quite what it seems.

Edwina has just moved into the neighborhood known as "Widows' Peak," so called due to the prevalent marital status of the residents, who tend to be a rather exclusive bunch. 

The residents are all curious about their new neighbor, but no one can seem to get much information about her, including queen bee Mrs. DC, whose son is busy wooing Edwina. 

Miss O'Hare and Edwina have an immediate dislike for each other, however, and soon some accidental encounters begin to look like Edwina is trying to ruin her new rival. 

The problems escalate and the town is in an uproar, but they get no closer to solving the mystery of the newcomer.

A truly lovely look at Irish humor and it's not so subtle jabs at the Brits. But there's more. 

How these characters weave a tale is fascinating and the plot thickens, as they say, with a marvelous twist that caught me totally off guard. 

Wonderful performances by all especially Joan Plowright who kept me laughing whenever she was on screen. 

It was nice to see Mia Farrow successfully widening her range, and Natasha Richardson wafted through the film with an aire of mystery about her - as did Farrow- commanding out attention throughout.
