The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne: Directed by Jack Clayton. With Maggie Smith, Bob Hoskins, Wendy Hiller, Marie Kean. A middle-aged spinster falls in love with a fellow resident of her boardinghouse, who mistakenly believes she has the money to help him start a new business.
“An unsparing portrait of a lonely spinster with nothing to go on but her own ever-weakening faith. All the performances are wonderful, but Maggie Smith in the title role is revelatory. One of the best performances by an actress that Iu0026#39;ve ever seen.”
