If you loved the “Downton Abbey” movie and wished you could just watch nice period films that were not too terribly suspenseful all the time, you are not alone and I have a real find for you. If you like costumes, accents and nice little love stories, “Ladies in Black” fits the bill, beautifully. Set in Australia in 1959, the ladies of the title are salespeople at Goode’s, an upscale department store in Sydney, and in a gentle way, the film is a slice of life as women face obstacles both perennial and topical.
