Rating:
Plenty boasts a cast of actors ranging from John_Gielgud as an ethical and caustic senior diplomat to Meryl_Streep as Susan Traherne, a woman looking for solace and a decent life in the aftermath of World War II. After World War II has ended, along with her work in the French Resistance movement and an idealized love affair with a soldier, Susan finds jobs in the business and diplomatic worlds. Her life slowly disintegrates as she tries and fails to have a child then marries diplomat Raymond Brock (Charles_Dance) and suffers further emotional decline as her rather conventional marriage eventually becomes cool and finally, alienating. Against Susan's difficulties are tumultuous events in the background -- the Suez Canal crisis and Middle East developments among them. David_Hare adapted the screenplay from his successful stage play which first opened in 1978. Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
