Dame Maggie Smith Sits Down for Tea With Mussolini | Tea with Mussolini
Determined to protect her beloved circle of British expatriates from rising political violence, the proud and domineering Lady Hester Random (Maggie Smith) travels to Rome for a personal audience with the Italian government. Sitting down in a grand, sun-dappled palazzo, she politely drinks tea with Benito Mussolini (Claudio Spadaro) to secure a personal guarantee of safety for her friends. This masterfully tense yet elegant sequence drips with tragic irony, as the dictatorial regime uses the ambassador's widow for an easy propaganda victory while the clouds of World War II gather heavily in the background. Watch Tea with Mussolini here: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0H5... The legendary story of the Scorpioni in Florence. Witness Maggie Smith deliver a BAFTA-winning masterclass in aristocratic poise and sharp wit in Franco Zeffirelli's deeply personal, acclaimed wartime drama Tea with Mussolini.
