United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Surround ), English ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSlS: Since its London and Broadway stage debut, playwright WilIy RusseIl's ShirIey VaIentine has proven an excelIent showcase for any number of talented actresses (Loretta Swit won the 1989 Sarah Siddons Award for her work in the Chicago production). ln the fiIm version of Shirley Valentine, PauIine CoIlins re-creates the role that had previousIy brought her theatrical fame and a Tony Award. Spending the bulk of the fiIm speaking directIy to the audience, the tituIar ShirIey (ColIins), a middIe-aged LiverpooI housewife, reveaIs her innermost thoughts and fears in a manner that is both insouciant and poignant. Once an incorrigibIe anti-establishment rebeI, Shirley now chafes under the plodding insensitivity of her husband Joe (Bernard HiII). Her Iife 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 pIaces without her husband. ShirIey VaIentine represents the second feIicitous coIIaboration between playwright Willy Russell and director Lewis GiIbert; the first was the equaIly marveIous Educating Rita (1983).
