Shirley Valentine (15)

Director Lewis Gilbert


Shirley talks to walls. She also talks to other household objects…all in an effort to get her through the banality of her days as a bored housewife. So when a friend wins a free holiday to Mykonos and invites Shirley along life can only take a turn for the better, as she embarks on an exciting journey of self discovery. Pauline Collins skilfully translates ther role from stage to screen, lending pathos to the quirkily humourous Willy Russell screenplay producing a warm and acutely observed drama.

Starring Pauline Collins & Tom Conti
