Filumena

A classic comedy set in the balmy Neapolitan heat, starring Felicity Kendal.

Amidst the heat of a Neapolitan spring, Filumena Marturano (Felicity Kendal) lies on her deathbed, waiting to marry the man who has kept her as his mistress for twenty-five years. No sooner than they are married, she makes a miraculous recovery, much to the surprise of her new, unwilling husband and his younger lover!

Is she a simple woman who simply wants the best for her family, or a fiercely intelligent opportunist determined to claim what is hers?

In a battle of wills between all involved, Filumena mixes charm and optimism with acerbic wit and a moral examination of how where we come from defines who we become.?
