Summer's Lease

Molly Pargeter (Susan Fleetwood) has found the perfect Tuscan villa for her frazzled family’s holiday. There’s sightseeing to do, local color to enjoy, and the enigma of an art-loving absentee landlord to explore. Meanwhile, her outrageously extroverted and libidinous father Haverford Downs (John Gielgud in an Emmy®—winning performance) has his sights set on a certain rich widow. Based on the novel by John Mortimer (Rumpole of the Bailey), seen on Masterpiece Theatre in 1990–91, this intriguing British drama is approx. 220 min. on 2 DVDs.
