Majolica in the Movies: Red

Today I received my copy of the quarterly Majolica International Society newsletter.

As usual it was a nice job by Duane and Wanda of combining news in the majolica community with topics of interest to collectors. One of these articles was their version of our own Majolica in the Movies!

Joan Stacke reported seeing majolica in the Helen Mirren movie Red. Not having seen the film I decided to do a search of images from the movie to see if I could find anything. Sure enough everything mentioned in the artcle was absolutely right! Take a look!

Helen Mirren plays a sweet older lady who has a lovely home, collects antiques and kills people. How lovely!
Actually it sounds cool. I intend to watch it when it shows up on cable. Chalk one up for Joan!

I wonder off there will be majolica in Red 2 too?

To view the trailer go here.
