This delightful romantic comedy started life as a one-woman stage show. But you'd never know it, as it took to the big screen like a duck to water.

Following their success with Educating Rita, director Lewis Gilbert and writer Willy Russell teamed up again, while Pauline Collins reprised the role she filled so successfully on stage and, inevitably, dominates the film.

She plays a bored housewife who dreams of drinking 'a glass of wine in a country where the grape is grown' and eventually takes off for a Greek island, leaving a note to her husband in the kitchen!

The fine supporting cast includes Tom Conti, Bernard Hill, Julia McKenzie and Joanna Lumley, but it's Pauline's show. It's something a little different and warm-hearted fun.
