    Editorial Reviews

    Since its London and Broadway stage debut, playwright Willy Russell's Shirley Valentine has proven an excellent showcase for any number of talented actresses (Loretta Swit won the 1989 Sarah Siddons Award for her work in the Chicago production). 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 (Collins), 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 now chafes under the plodding insensitivity of her husband Joe (Bernard Hill). Her life enters a new and exciting phase when, after her best friend Jane (Alison Steadman) wins an all-expenses-paid vacation to Greece, Shirley is given the opportunity to travel to faraway places without her husband. Shirley Valentine represents the second felicitous collaboration between playwright Willy Russell and director Lewis Gilbert; the first was Educating Rita (1983). Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Pauline Collins is terrefic in the role of Shirley, she is very adorable and her performence is worth appreciating, nevertheless her role is worth admiring and loving. Beautifull scenarios of Greece, excellent chemistry between Tom Conti and Pauline Collins and well, words alone cannot describe this beautifull film. Its emotional, its seductive, its lovely consisting of good performences. Unforgettable and definately worth watching. If you like good lighthearted drama, beautifull locations, this is the film for you.
