Lucy Honeychurch, a young Englishwoman, makes her first visit to Florence, Italy in the early 1900′s. There, she meets a quiet yet eccentric young man named George Emerson.

Trivia
First cinema film of Helena Bonham Carter.
In the book, Lucy kisses George in a field of violets, but it was the wrong season for this when filming so just a plain field of barley was used.
Charlotte Bartlett and Eleanor Lavish discuss the plotline of E.M. Forster’s other Italian novel “Where Angels Fear to Tread” when on the picnic. Helena Bonham Carter later starred in the film adaptation of the novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread.
