British Film Night: The L-Shaped Room

BBC One
on BBC One London

Written and directed by Bryan Forbes
The first in a season of outstanding feature films made between ten and five years ago.

The story of a French girl and her motley assortment of neighbours who rent bedsitters in the same crumbling Notting Hill Gate house

A beautiful performance by Leslie Caron adds the touch of perfection to a superb film that was very much the personal creation of Bryan Forbes. The theme music is Brahms's Piano Concerto No 1.
