Love And Pain And The Whole Damn Thing DVD   Sony Pictures

Double Oscar winner Dame Maggie Smith (Best Actress, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, 1969: Best Supporting Actress, California Suite, 1978) and Timothy Bottoms star as the unlikely lovers in this beautiful, bittersweet comedy romance directed by Alan J Pakula (Klute, All The President's Men). Fleeing from her dreadful family, middle-aged English eccentric Lila Fisher (Maggie Smith) decides to take a cut-price bus tour of Spain. While there she meets Walter (Timothy Bottoms), a teenage boy also on the run from his family of ruthless overachievers. Gradually their awkward friendship begins to turn into something more, as two lost and desperately lonely people find love for the very first time. And then Lila tells Walter her secret... Funny, charming and heartbreaking, this unforgettable British film gem from 1973 has never been available to own on UK DVD before.
