Über diesen Film

Beecham House is abuzz. Rumor is that the home for retired musicians will soon play host to a new resident - a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay of THE GOLDEN COMPASS), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly of BOONDOCK SAINTS, THE LAST SAMURAI) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins of ALBERT NOBBS), this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home, but they're in for a shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith of DOWNTON ABBEY, GOSFORD PARK). Her subsequent career as a star soloist and the ego that accompanied it split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert? Academy Award-Winner® Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut film.

Really felt cheated at end. Also really insulting to treat old people as "cute"! "Cutesie" takes the cake. Just nothing special or memorable about it. Nothing cinematography, okay acting, useless directing.

Fun and sad... smart and silly... it's all there in a sweet story about an old performers home. Unlike most movies today... this film is worth the time it takes to watch it.

Wonderful characters played by superb actors at the top of their game, glorious music, gorgeous settings, touching and funny story. Have fun! 😉😊
