Tea with the Dames: Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins, Judy Dench and Joan Plowright

We read about the great movies with Maggie Smith:

The Prime of Miss Brody, California Suite, and, of course, Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. And Gosford Park, Lady in the Van, Quartet and the hilarious The First Wives Club among many.

But in 2018 we were in LA and watched a small documentary “Tea with the Dames.”

I don’t know if it enjoyed a wide distribution but it is interesting.

Looks like it's available through Amazon Prime as a rental from AMC+ for under $4.

As a side note, I'm so tired of not having easy access to knowing what the hell streaming services we're already paying for. Grr.

It was so fun to see them all together. I love them all. Thanks for reminding me about it. Missing Maggie Smith today. So many great movies and Downtown Abbey--I am sorry she's gone.
