The Killing of Sister George

Veteran British actress June Buckridge (Beryl Reid) had grown smugly complacent about her longtime TV soap opera stint, as well as her domineering relationship with dependent younger lover Alice (Susannah York). A liquor-fueled public scandal, however, gives cutthroat network exec Mercy Croft (Coral Browne) the leverage to terminate the former... and horn in on the latter. Groundbreaking, powerful effort from director Robert Aldrich co-stars Ronald Fraser, Patricia Medina, Cyril Delevanti. 140 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurette; theatrical trailer.
