The Takeover (2012)
“The only good thing about them was their house, which isn’t theirs, it’s mine.’ ‘Oh, but I know Pietro and Michael likes him,’ her daughter-in-law said.

Very bourgeois; of course they were terrified of lifting a finger to help me to get Hubert out.’ ‘I’ll do everything I can to help you,’ Mary said eagerly. She was terribly anxious to make a success of her marriage, as she would put it; her father was a success a...nd her mother was a well-known success in advertising although she didn’t by any means need the job; moreover, Mary’s elder sister was busy making a success of her marriage.
