Plot

All but abandoned by her family in a London retirement hotel, Mrs. Palfrey (Joan Plowright) strikes up a curious friendship with a young writer, Ludovic Meyer (Rupert Friend). Fate brings them together after she has an accident outside his basement flat. The two newly found friends discover they have a lot more in common with each other than they do with other people their own age. Ludovic inadvertently leads Mrs. Palfrey through her past; Mrs. Palfrey inadvertently leads Ludovic to his future.

The 1945 British film Brief Encounter figures into the plot, as does Beaulieu Castle.

Book

The 2005 film is based on the 1971 novel also entitled Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont which was written by Elizabeth Taylor, the novelist.

Movie

The screenplay was written by Ruth Caplin. A DVD of the film adaptation is available.
