Spirituality & Health: Movie Review: Widow's Peak Widows' Peak is amiably propelled by three delicious performances by Joan Plowright as the domineering queen on the hill, Mia Farrow as the stubborn Miss O'Hare, and Natasha Richardson as the attention-getting newcomer. The only man who lives on "Widows' Peak" is her weak-willed son Godfrey (Adrian Dunbar). Overlooking the quaint Irish village of Kilshannon in the 1920s are a group of houses owned by the town's well-to-do widows. www.spiritualityhealth.com /newsh/items/moviereview/item_6264.html   (256 words)

Charity's Place.com > Widow's Peak Widows' Peak has one twist after another and left me on the edge of my seat, anticipating what would come of all the scandal and secrets. But their peaceful Irish lives are about to be invaded by the arrival of Edwina Broome (Natalie Richardson), a wealthy American widow who fled the cities of Europe to avoid being a target for fortune-hunters.

DVD Verdict Review - Widows' Peak Widows' Peak has been compared to Enchanted April (1992), and there are some superficial similarities, not least of which is the presence of Joan Plowright and Jim Broadbent. Widows' Peak is like a pleasant vacation from modern life, and like the best vacation spots, it gives us a lovely time during our stay but doesn't make us want to move there. Widows' Peak is a bit like lemon meringue pie: lightweight, even fluffy, but with just enough tartness to prevent it from becoming cloying. www.dvdverdict.com /reviews/widowspeak.php   (1194 words)

Re: Can a couple with an widows peak have an offspring with a straight hairline Widow's peak is inherited as a dominant trait.

WIDOWS' PEAK My reaction to "Widows' Peak" is tied to my perception that a change occurred in the film's agenda. The widows seem to make up an informal aristocracy, as if they had achieved a state of grace merely because they had outlived their husbands. Because it is a genteel society, steeped in tradition and etiquette, the widows feel the need to maintain a sense of decorum in public. www.xmission.com /~gregorys/reviews/widowspe.htm   (467 words)
