A Good Woman Summary Set in the 1930s on the beautiful shores of the Italian Riviera, A Good Woman follows the seductive Mrs. Erlynne (Hunt), scorned by many as a woman of ill repute, leaves New York for the Amalfi coast, where she hopes to find a new patron among the vacationing aristocrats. The mean-spirited gossip stirred up by Mrs. Erlynne s arrival isn t enough to dissuade the jovial, kind-hearted Lord Augustus (

Mrs Erlynne Is A Manhattan Socialite In The 30's. She Has Both A Seductive Past & Debts. To Sscape Both She Flees New York To The Amalfi Coast Intending To Rely On Her Charms To Create A New Life. She Shoon Meets A Young Couple & Their Friendship Is Mistaken For An Adulterous Affair That Fires Salacious Gossip.

Scarlett Johannson and Helen Hunt give Oscar Wilde's popular play Lady Windermere's Fan a lavish jazz-age treatment in A Good Woman. An adventuress (Hunt, As Good as It Gets) flees scandal in New York and lands in Italy, where she crosses paths with a young businessman (David Hasselhoff look-alike Mark Umbers) and his very upright young wife (Johansson, Lost in Translation). Before long, tongues are wagging about the adventuress and the businessman, possibly driving the wife to a rash act. A Good Woman retains Wilde's plot--though its 19th century moral concerns don't have the same punch in 1930s Italy--and tosses aside most of his impeccable dialogue, sprinkling his clever epigrams here and there in the otherwise undistinguished dialogue. Johansson, perhaps the most physically sensual actress since Brigitte Bardot, is miscast as the moral prig; Hunt, looking pinched and austere, is miscast as the jaded courtesan. The movie's great saving grace is Tom Wilkinson as a rich man who hopes Hunt will warm his older years. Wilkinson brings a worldly benevolence to every moment he's on screen, making the lines that weren't written by Wilde sound as crisp and wise as if they were. --Bret Fetzer
