One of director Douglas Sirk's best and most successful romantic melodramas of the 1950s - a moving May-December romance between Cary Scott (Jane Wyman), an attractive widow, and handsome gardener-landscaper Ron Kirby (Rock Hudson).

Exceedingly lonely since her husband's death, Cary throws conventional behaviour to the winds and facing social ostracism by pursuing her romance with Ron, who is unjustly perceived as a fortune-hunter by Cary's friends and family--especially her priggish son Ned (William Reynolds).

Enjoy a sumptuous film, rich in emotions and meaning – best enjoyed on the big screen!

We are delighted to be joined by Professor Alastair Phillips for an introduction to the film before the screening begins.
