This adaptation of Alice Thomas Ellis 's novel by Martin Sherman begins a repeat run of successful Screen Two films.
Set in the stuffy suburbs of 1950s Croydon, it stars Jeanne Moreau as the exotic free-living Lili, who comes over from Egypt to help out her old school friend, the deeply proper Monica (Julie Walters ) with preparations for her daughter Margaret's wedding.
Other Screen Two films to be shown are Truly Madly Deeply and Enchanted April, both credited with boostingthe BBC's influence in the British film industry and given general release, becoming box-office hits.
