We must have seen the preview of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011, directed by John Madden) six or eight times, and we enjoyed it every time. It seemed to be a comedy, and it featured seven companionable English actors we'd grown old with: Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Ronald Pickup, Penelope Wilton, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy, and Celia Imrie—listed oldest first, all born within 12 years of each of us. (Dench is only nineteen days older than Smith, who will be 78 this December.)
