judi dench? interesting choice. Very minor role. but I do love her line reading when her and maggie go to sit down on damp ground...

"observe my foresight. i never venture forth without my (name?) squares..."

my 3 favorite...
1. hopkins (remains of the day --his best work ever )
2. thompson (howards end)
3. bonham-carter (howards end)
 
"observe my foresight" was what made me choose her over maggie
 
I'm'a hafta stump for Vanessa Redgrave as Ruth Wilcox. I recognize that in some sense she is just doing her Ethereal Vanessa Redgrave Thing (and there's some good 1940s Hat Acting at the train station), but she's still extraordinary.
