In the film version of Shirley Valentine, Pauline Collins re-creates the role that had previously brought her theatrical fame and a Tony Award. Spending the bulk of the film speaking directly to the audience, the titular Shirley, a middle-aged Liverpool housewife, reveals her innermost thoughts and fears in a manner that is both insouciant and poignant.

Once an incorrigible anti-establishment rebel, Shirley's surburban British life has become boring and meaningless. But Shirley is about to take a chance on adventure when a friend invites her on a vacation to Greece. Within no time she's back to her rebellious teenage roots, saying yes to a wild fling with a handsome rogue and experiencing the exciting life she's always wanted.

From the creators of Educating Rita, this delightful romantic comedy will keep audiences smiling long after its final scene.
