DVD Description
Leon Hawthorne (Jack Davenport - Pirates of the Caribbean) is a recently widowed property developer left to raise his young daughter on his own. While at a coroner’s inquest into the death of one of his workers, Leon meets the dead man’s widow, Natalie (Neve McIntosh). A bright and exotic woman, Natalie’s beauty captivates Leon and after the verdict of the court case comes, he sets out to track the widow down. This brings him into the countryside and on an unexpected journey full of humour, danger and self-discovery as he enters the world of the gypsies. Leon soon finds himself in love with Natalie, but it is too late and she is gone. Though all is not lost and with the help of Leon’s and Natalie’s daughters, they just might manage to sort it out.

Not a bad little film,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gypsy Woman [DVD] (DVD)
Had an idea of what to expect from this story but it is fairly amusing and both Neve McIntosh and Jack Davenport are believable as the leads. It is a typical man-meets-woman-loses-woman-but-they-get-back-together-at-the-end type premise; between a London yuppie and the eponymous heroine, although the Romany culture is not explored here in as much depth as it might have been.Another competent performance from Nick Brimble who is as ever underused as an actor and a supporting cast that works well, makes this film worth a look.

Fine light romantic comedy,
By
This review is from: Gypsy Woman [DVD] (DVD)
This is a film to be thoroughly enjoyed with the family after a good Sunday lunch.Leon (Davenport) is a hard boiled fixer employed by an unscrupulous property developer and is tasked to buy off a law suite from Natalie (McIntosh) whose husband was killed due to equipment in a dangerous condition. However Leon did not count on Natalie being a gypsy, and to conduct the negotiations tracks her down to a mountainous region where she is having a holiday with her daughter in a traditional Gypsy caravan. This provides some lovely scenic shots. Leon ensnares himself with Natalie and the delightful comedy unfolds at a natural gentle pace. Davenport and McIntosh create exactly the right chemistry, and the acting of their daughters Tania (Lumley) and Sarah (Monoghan) is first class. The contrast between British and Romany culture is hinted to show Leon going up a learning curve, but is not made an issue. For me this film has a very 1950s ambience (emphatically not in any way dated) with Stewart Grainger and Jean Simmons coming to mind for the starring roles.

Very funny film,
This review is from: Gypsy Woman [DVD] (DVD)
I found myself pleasently surprised by this film. I'd bought it on a whim, and based on the description, had expected something a little darker. However, it turned out to be a light, boy-meets-girl comedy that I thoroughly enjoyed.As I see more and more of Jack Davenport's work, I continue to be more and more impressed. His acting in this picture was superb. Accordingly, Neve McIntosh's portrayl of the Gypsie widow was equally excellent. The differences between the two characters were well played and the audience wasn't beaten about the head with the idea of them being from two different backgrounds. All in all, a very good film and a definite recommendation.
