Specific stage directions...

This 1896 novel, first published serially in the Illustrated London News, is a murder mystery with a twist—the callous crime goes unpunished, though not undiscovered. James is less interested in a game of cat-and-mouse than in exploring the psychological motivations of his characters.

Description
Based on E.M. Forster's novel of requited love. A young, independent-minded, upper-class Edwardian woman who is trying to sort out her burgeoning romantic feelings, divided between an enigmatic free spirit she meets on vacation in Florence and the priggish bookworm to whom she becomes engaged back in the more corseted Surrey. Funny, sexy, and sophisticated, this film was a gargantuan art-house hit.
