Shirley Valentine
ComedyDramaRomance108 min
Pauline Collins is Shirley, a 42-year-old Liverpool housewife so hemmed in by routine that she talks to the kitchen wall while making her husband’s chips and egg. When her best friend wins a trip for two to Greece, Shirley leaves home almost on impulse and finds herself looking at her marriage, her age, and her own stalled life from a new distance. In Greece she meets a local man, bringing Tom Conti into the picture, and the holiday begins to loosen the habits and expectations that have defined her for years.
