In the Synopsis section, line 4, the phrase "self-pointed Italian businessman" isn't at all clear to me. I thought perhaps it was meant to say "self-appointed," but that doesn't make much sense either. Would be great if someone could clarify. Thx. MylesCallum 23:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Dubious

edit

I just watched this movie and the character of Lady Hester Random as played by Maggie Smith was the Scorpioni – not the whole group of English women. Can someone confirm that – at least for the purpose of the film – the Scorpioni was the character of Lady Hester Random? In the meantime, I have marked this as disputed on the article page. Please keep in mind that I'm talking about the character in the film named Hester Random – not about the real life Lady Random or the real group of English ex-patriates. --Tiger MarcROAR! 21:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

If I remember correctly, at the beginning of the film, British Consul says that "Italians call they The Scorpioni." after Connie Raynor has asked are all the women friends between each other. -Mrshasselström 19:17, 1.

Connection with 1944's "Two thousand women" ?

edit

Is there any connection with the 1944 British film "Two Thousand Women". The story is - in parts - similar and some of the "set-piece" dialogue is identical. Robin J Thomson (talk) 18:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Cher's performance grossly underrated

edit

Cher's role and performance in Tea with Mussolini is grossly underrated in all accounts of this film. A close watch of the artist's subtleties reveals her range and sensitivity to the period's diabolical betrayal of the Jews in Europe at the time. 69.14.56.136 (talk) 05:15, 29 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
