THE LONELY PASSION OF JUDITH HEARNE (1987)

JACK CLAYTON

Plot

Judith Hearne is a sensitive, genteel, piano-teaching, Dublin spinster struggling to keep her dignity in a harsh and degrading world. She deperately wants to be loved but, when her ideals are shattered once too often, she has a second love, the bottle. When neither that nor the Bible sustain her she must reassess her life. A poignant, powerful non-sentimental drama.
