Maggie Smith Is “My Old Lady”
Israel Horovitz‘s “My Old Lady,” to be released on September 10th, stars Kevin Kline, Maggie Smith and Kristin Scott Thomas. It’s based on a Horovitz play that opened in 1996. Plot: Mathias (Kline), an all-but-destitute New Yorker, travels to Paris to sell a valuable Left Bank apartment he’s inherited from his estranged father. Once there he discovers a refined old woman Mathilde (Smith) living in the apartment with her daughter Chloe (KST). Mathias quickly learns that he will not only not get possession of the apartment until Mathilde dies, but that he’s on the hook for monthly expenses of around $3K.
