About this product
Product Information
E.M. Forster's 1910 novel is adapted for the screen by Merchant Ivory Productions in this masterful Edwardian Age romance directed by James Ivory. The dying Ruth Wilcox (Vanessa Redgrave) wishes to leave her country home, Howards End, to Margaret Schlegel (Emma Thompson in an Academy Award-winning role), a modest woman of little means who will soon be forced out of her own home in London. But Ruth's husband, Henry (Anthony Hopkins), an upper middle class businessman, keeps secret her desire even after he and Margaret become friends. However, after Henry and Margaret marry, their class differences and philosophies threaten to cause them unhappiness. Margaret's sister, Helen (Helena Bonham Carter), is disgusted by the Wilcox's snobbish ways and is attracted to helping struggling clerk Leonard Bast (Sam West) improve his position. Merchant-Ivory screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala was the force behind adapting this Forster novel into a film, winning her second Academy Award for her screenplay; her first Oscar was for A ROOM WITH A VIEW.Product Identifiers

Not to be missed
Merchant-Ivory production guarantees beautiful production in all ways. The cast is fabulous, the film is very true to the book, which happens to be my favorite book. Those scenes of Leonard Bast walking through fields of bluebells are unforgettable. And the house used as Howards End is just so charming.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Insightful look into the morays of the time.
Any film with the name Merchant Ivory does not disappoint. This is not always happy but very well done in the foibles that prevailed in this time era.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
