Impromptu

Recommended by: Jen Howell

Release Year: 1991

Runtime: 107 min

The Pitch: A romantic comedy you've probably never seen starring: Judy Davis, Hugh Grant, Mandy Patinkin, Julian Sands, Bernadette Peters, and Emma Thompson! Need I say more? If I do, it's also a look at the historical romance between French author George Sand and composer Frederic Chopin, so you know the music's going to be good!
