About this movie

In the role that won her Broadway’s acclaimed Tony Award, Pauline Collins is the hilariously endearing Shirley Valentine, a wisecracking, completely unpredictable English housewife who proves it’s never too late to recapture your dreams. Bored with her suburban life, Shirley takes 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 (Tom Conti) and the life she’s always wanted.
