The star-studded and long-awaited remake of EM Forster's classic romance, adapted for television by Andrew Davies (Bleak House, Bridget Jones' Diary). Timothy Spall (Auf Weidershen Pet, Harry Potter), and his son Rafe Spall (Hot Fuzz, The Chatterley Affair), appear together for the first time alongside Elaine Cassidy, Sinead Cusack, Elizabeth McGovern and an all-star ensemble cast. Florence 1922. Alone and independent, Lucy (Elaine Cassidy - Fingersmith) recalls her experience ten years earlier when, chaperoned by her cousin Charlotte (Sophie Thompson), she arrives at Pensione Bertolini looking for Italian adventure. Instead she finds herself in a safe haven for English tourists including spinsters, and clergymen - plus the outspoken socialist Mr Emerson (Timothy Spall) and his dashing son George (Rafe Spall). The Emerson's offer up their room with a view to the newcomers. Despite Charlotte's disapproval, Lucy gradually finds herself drawn to the Emersons, and in an unguarded moment, George passionately kisses her. Horrified, Charlotte whisks Lucy off to Rome, and into the arms of a more appropriate gentleman, Cecil Vyse (Lawrence Fox - Lewis, Becoming Jane). Lucy tries to forget her passionate kiss with George, and returns home to England engaged to the elegant aristocrat Vyse. However, the Emerson's unexpected arrival in Lucy's village upset her plans; now she must make a choice between the status and security she would have with Cecil, or the passionate uncertainty offered by George. A Room with a View was filmed entirely on location in Florence and London.
