What movie is this scene from?

I'm trying to locate a film for a (very vaguely recalled) scene depicting the humiliation of an older woman as she overhears expressions of irritable distaste toward her by individuals she was trying to befriend.

It goes something like this. An older actress, perhaps Vanessa Redgrave or Maggie Smith, seems to be hosting visitors in a large house. She is chatting away in the presence of one or two gentlemen. Switch to another scene either immediately thereafter or later in the film. Two men are talking (outside the house I think). They think they are alone, but she is nearby unseen and listening. One gentlemen makes rather harsh remarks about her, finding her insufferable. She is humiliated. My recollection is that she cries or is visibly mortified and pained. I thought the film might be My House in Umbria but I could not find this scene in the version on YouTube.
