The Killing of Sister George
Apr 23, 2009
(Robert Aldrich, UK, 1968, 138 min)
An aging, alcoholic soap opera actress (Beryl Reid) faces the catfight of her life when a vindictive female TV executive (Coral Browne) makes the moves on her younger live-in lover (Susannah York). One of the first mainstream films released with an 'X' rating due to its then-taboo lesbian sex scene, today regarded as a pinnacle in over-the-top camp melodrama.
