Shirley Valentine

on BBC One London

Comedy starring
Pauline Collins
Tom Conti

Liverpool housewife Shirley Valentine-Bradshaw leads a domestic existence of routine dullness. Her monosyllabic husband's only concern is to find his supper on the table on time. What she needs is a holiday; a place with sun, sand and sea, a place where she can fall in love - with life.
Pauline Collins was nominated for an Oscar and won a Tony for her stage performance as Shirley.
(1989, 15)
(Stereo) (Subtitled)
(See Films: pages 50-55)
