An unlikely
sounding though true story of how Oscar winning actress Gloria Grahame fell for
a younger actor from Liverpool called Peter Turner. Based on the latter’s book
the film works up the slim story into something substantial by virtue of two
excellent performances and some cinematic devices along the way. It’s the late
1970s and Turner is in London digs into which Gloria moves while starring in a
play. Soon they become more than just friends, the large age difference seeming
to make no difference as her zest for fun and his mischievous calm seem to meet
in a perfect place. They bond initially over disco dancing and end up as lovers
and more.
