- Quotes
George Emerson: He's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at, like a painting or an ivory box. Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.

This is a triple Academy Award winning rendition of E M Foster's fey novel about requerited love, and mutual feeling, in addition, there is much hilarious scenes and a lot of humor too. This is a nice film, gorgeous to look at, though rather soap opera and sentimental. Multi-Oscar nominee and winning 5 of them as : Actress Maggie Smith, Adapted screenplay, Art direction, Set design, Costume design. Casting is frankly magnificent, outstanding Helena Bonham as the feisty British idealist who repents herself a previous decision, Denholm Elliott, Simon Callow, Daniel Day Lewis is particularly distinguished and the Oscar winner Maggie Smith.
Rousing and picturesque cinematography by Tom Pierce Roberts reminiscent of a Claude Monet or Renoir painting. Including an attractive and charming soundtrack by Richard Robbins , adding classic music courtesy of Puccini. The motion picture was splendidly directed by James Ivory, using his ordinary team, writer Ruth Prawer, novelist E M Foster, cameraman Tom Pierce Roberts, musician Richard Robbins. Ivory was an expert on dramas and costumers, such as : Wild party, Savages, Bombay talkie, The Europeans, Roseland ,Heat and dust, The Bostonians, The courtesans of Bombay, Quartet, Maurice, Slaves of NY, Howards End, Jefferson in Paris, The remains of the day, Jane Austin in Manhattan, Surviving Picasso, The golden bowl, among others. Rating : Above average. Wothwhile watching.
