In addition, the sets, costumes, and art direction are of the highest caliber, making the work extremely pleasing to watch. The other cast members are also tremendous, especially Bennett who offers a very funny turn as the dense but likable Martin. Then, Kate Beckinsale, take a deep bow, for you bring this smart but dangerous woman to life as few could. What an accomplishment for you indeed, although many film fans admire your previous four films. Will this culminate in two weddings, Lady Susan with Reginald DeCourcy and Frederica with Lord Martin? Ah, the best laid plans of Susan Vernon may be daring but could be thwarted! First, thank you Whit Stilman, for writing, from Jane Austen's novel Lady Susan, and directing a gorgeous, wonderfully acted, witty and intelligent movie. Doesn't matter as the two ladies meet in secret. Johnson has heard also of the Manwaring uproar so he forbids Alicia to see Lady S. When Lady Susan needs advice and comfort, she turns to her longtime, American friend Alicia Johnson Chloe Sevigny who married a rich, older Brit Stephen Fry. Frederica definitely does NOT want to marry him but her dear, devious mother may require it. Trailing her night and day is HER suitor, Sir James Martin Tom Bennett, a very affable but stupid man. Wouldn't it be a coup if she could remarry a gentleman 15 years younger than she? Soon, the household gets bigger, as Lady S's daughter, Frederica Morfydd Clark leaves school and comes "home".
