	Actors - A Room with a View

A Room with a View is a 1986 Academy Award-winning feature film, adapted by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala from the book of the same name by E. M. Forster. The film was produced by Ismail Merchant, directed by James Ivory, and stars Maggie Smith (as Charlotte Bartlett), Helena Bonham Carter (as Lucy Honeychurch), Denholm Elliott (as Mr. Emerson), Julian Sands (as George Emerson), Simon Callow (as Mr. Beebe), Judi Dench (as Eleanor Lavish) and Daniel Day-Lewis (as Cecil Vyse).

Synopsis

The film tells the story of a woman struggling with her individuality in the face of the restrictive Edwardian culture of turn-of-the century England and her love for a free-spirited young man. The story begins in Florence then moves to England.
