Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont

Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont is a 2005 US-produced comedy-drama film based on the 1971 novel by Elizabeth Taylor.

The film stars Joan Plowright and Rupert Friend, with Zoë Tapper, Anna Massey, and Robert Lang.

It is the final film role of Robert Lang, who died on November 6, 2004, a year before its release.

The film was also dedicated to the memories of Sonia Mintz, Minnie Sacks, Lillian Espetein, Patricia Peckos, Thomas W. MacDonald and Clara Peralta Ramos de Varela, who also died before the film came out.

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).
