Movie Description
This film version of Terence Rattigan's 1955 West End hit features a stellar ensemble cast. The film follows the interplay of a group of lonely characters who are staying at a slightly shabby seaside hotel in Bournemouth. The term "separate tables" refers to the practice of seating single guests at their own tables in the dining room, and serves as a metaphor for the characters' fear of intimacy. Major Pollack (David Niven) is a retired officer who likes to wax eloquent about fanciful acts of heroism in WWII North Africa, and Sybil Railton-Bell (Deborah Kerr) is a repressed spinster boxed in by an oppressive mother (Gladys Cooper). John Malcolm (Burt Lancaster), a cynical, hard-drinking, occasional writer, is surprised by the sudden arrival of his ex-wife Ann (Rita Hayworth). Though Ann's legendary beauty is dimmed by age, Ann and John both reach tentatively for some human contact. SEPARATE TABLES, a work that now seems relatively tame, was controversial in its day for attempting to deal with sexual problems, however obliquely. The all-star cast is excellent, but it is the genius of Wendy Hiller, in a small part, that steals the show.

    This 1958 movie that stars Burt Lancaster, Rita Hayworth, David Niven, Deborah Kerr and Wendy Hiller, is a real classic! The movie is set at an English seaside resort. Lancaster and Hayworth are divorced but have decided to make another go of it....unfortunately Hiller is also there and she plays his timid mistress. Niven is a war hero...supposedly. Kerr is a lonely spinster who is there with her bossy mother, played by Gladys Cooper. The story revolves around the lives of all these people. It is an extremely well done drama! Niven & Hiller won Oscars for their performance. A must see!
