Lifelong friends Wilf (Connolly) and Reggie (Courtenay), together with former colleague Cissy (Collins), are residents ofBeecham House, a home for retired opera singers. Every year on Giuseppe Verdi’s birthday, the residents unite to give aconcert to raise funds for their home. But when Jean Horton (Smith), a former grande dame of the opera fallen on hardtimes, also Reggie’s ex-wife and the fourth and most celebrated member of their former quartet, moves into the hometo everyone’s surprise, the plans for this year’s concert start to unravel. As old grudges threaten to undermine pastglories and theatrical temperaments play havoc with the rehearsal schedule, it becomes apparent that having four ofthe finest singers in English operatic history under one roof offers no guarantee that the show will go on. Based onRonald Harwood’s stage play of the same name, Quartet is a wickedly comic film about redefining old age and growingold with hope; demonstrating how art illuminates life and the human spirit remains undimmed even as the brighteststars start to fade.

Aided by a sharp, wittyscript, this is a dark love story with an edge thatproves that Britain still possesses clout inproducing charmingly sinister black comedies.
