I watched "A Good Woman" (2004) on TV just because I liked Scarlett Johansson. It was kinda tedious. I could feel Europeans' slight contempt and envy against Americans in those days. At the same time, it made me think of how to deal with gossip around you. The answer the movie would give you is too simple: Just ignore.
A plot from IMDB:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379306/plotsummary
Among the rich and famous spending 'the season' on Italy's Amalfi Coast in
1930, Mrs Erlynne, who describes herself as poor and infamous, discovers the whereabouts of her long abandoned daughter and the daughter's new, wealthy and very conventional husband. Mrs Erlynne blackmails the husband into supporting her. His covert attempts to keep the mother's identity from his unwitting wife lead to gossip and suspicion. An attempted seduction of the wife by a young English nobleman and international playboy and the courting of the mother by a worldly-wise older English nobleman are added plot complications which are all worked out amid numerous typically amoral Wildean aphorisms.
