June Buckridge (Beryl Reid), an ageing lesbian actress, finds her life falling apart after she both loses her job playing Sister George in a long-running television soap opera and discovers that her lover Childie (Susannah York) has fallen for TV executive Mercy Croft (Coral Browne). This leads to a great deal of taboo-busting melodramatics. Directed by cult favourite Robert Aldrich ('Kiss Me Deadly', 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?', 'The Dirty Dozen').
