Ladies in Retirement - Reginald Denham - Edward Percy - BBC Saturday Night Theatre

Музыка

Ladies in Retirement is a 1941 American film noir directed by Charles Vidor, and starring Ida Lupino and Louis Hayward. It is based on a 1940 Broadway play of the same title by Reginald Denham and Edward Percy which starred Flora Robson in the lead role
Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has been housekeeper/companion to her old friend Miss Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue", for about two years. Lucy is a maid who has also been there for some time. Ellen gets a letter one day about her two sisters, both of whom are a bit peculiar. The letter says that unless she can get them under control, the police will be called and they will be evicted from their flat for outlandish behavior. Ellen asks Miss Fiske if her sisters can visit and she says yes.

    The info box tells us about the Film version of the play, but this is a radio drama. From reading the synopsis of the movie this differs slightly and of course, has different actors, (as the narrator at the end tells us.). You can find the movie on The Internet Archive, or KZread.

    @@annehathaway2107 It's an hour and a half long, people are bound to browse the comments. How you came to that conclusion about the end is beyond me. This was adapted from a stage play and also made into a movie which differs slightly. The Nun tells Ellen someone is visiting a nearby farm which causes Albert to flee. After overhearing the conversation between Albert and Ellen, Lucy flees the house to the same farm, which is where Ellen tells her sisters she is going at the end. Not hard to figure it out and imagine what might become of the sisters and what happens to Ellen. Albert's fate is up in the air, (in this version at least)

    Many of us read comments before or during a play as some very kind people give us a synopsis. Also we check to see if people have enjoyed or disliked plays. At least you did write spoiler alert. From Oz. 👇💜🙃
