“We survived the war,” mater familias Violet (Maggie Smith) puts into perspective in this safe yet cozy second film sequel to the series. Downton Abbey (2010-2015). “This should work too.” Violet relates to the typical Great Event that is necessary when TV series have to prove themselves at cinema length: this time a real Hollywood film set settles in the famous country house. And it doesn’t stop there, in this one A New Era† While an insufferable Hollywood diva is The Sound of Music do not know what to do with the arrival of the sound film (we are now writing the late twenties), there is also a fuss with an inherited French villa. In the meantime, for great sentiment, we have to wait for the epilogue, where a long-awaited closure of a storyline still comes out of the blue.
