Widows' Peak is a 1994 British-Irish mystery film directed by John Irvin and starring Mia Farrow, Joan Plowright, Natasha Richardson, Adrian Dunbar and Jim Broadbent.

Mrs. Doyle-Counihan, widowed twice, upholds with an iron will the rental terms for the property under her control—left to her by her deceased husband—as well as maintaining a tight grip on her adult son, Godfrey.

An impoverished spinster with an outspoken dislike for the English, Katherine O'Hare runs a boarding house, yet is tolerated by the clique of snobbish wealthy widows.

Edwina explains that after her husband’s death she took a house in Antibes in the French Riviera, where she said she had to dodge fortune hunters.

At the regatta, Katherine encounters an English naval officer, whom she pumps for more information, who says he recognizes Edwina from Antibes.

Katherine retaliates by crashing Edwina’s and Godfrey’s engagement party, confessing that she had been pressured to give up her baby for adoption by the widows who claimed that her unmarried motherhood would be an offense to "good living women."

During a public meeting to demand justice, Katherine shows up, claiming that she left Edwina on the boat and has been staying with her cousin as a refuge from the scandals at Widows’ Peak.

The four of them have pulled off a lucrative scam to take financial revenge on the judgmental widows who have treated Katherine and her baby so harshly.

Set in the 1920s, the film's period wardrobe needs were handled by Angels and Bermans as well as Costumi d'Arte and European Costume Company.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said, the film "uses understated humor and fluent, witty speech; it's a delight to listen to, as it gradually reveals how eccentric these apparently respectable people really are.
