Tapping into the grey pound market exemplified by The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, this has the benefit of well-loved, high-profile actresses Joan Collins and Pauline Collins, as well as similar glamorous locations, in this case the South of France. The examination of female friendship is nicely done, as is the love triangle between the two women and the rich, sexy Frenchman. However, the plot is cheesy and the sentiment rather too clearly designed to tug at the heartstrings.

She gets sucked into the world of 70-year-old former actress Helen, who is clinging to the last vestiges of her youth and attractiveness. The pair run off to France to attend the funeral of a director that Helen knew – but both women have their secret reasons for wanting to get away. They are also both swept off their feet by rich, handsome Albert, who comes to their aid when their car breaks down. But with a love triangle burgeoning and the women's pasts catching up with them, the truth will have to come out eventually. SYNOPSIS: Highgate swimming ponds, London, July. PRISCILLA (70s) swims expertly, then returns home to her unpleasant, moody husband FRANK (72). She says it would've been George's 40th birthday, and is shocked when Frank replies, "if it hadn't been for you". At the same time, HELEN (70s) puts on her wig and make-up in a nearby care home, and packs a small suitcase. Frank and Priscilla are in the local shop, arguing, when Helen comes in to buy cigarettes. Outside, she drops her purse. Priscilla helps Helen with her bags and on to a coach full of care home residents. But the DRIVER shuts the doors and drives off. Priscilla tries to explain but the CARER doesn't want to hear. Helen says she should just enjoy the free trip to the seaside. She then adds that she's going to drown herself when they get there. A furious Frank watches the coach drive off. Priscilla's daughter SARAH drops her kids JOE and POLLY off with a panicked Frank. Priscilla tries to call home from a service station but nearly misses getting back on the coach. Priscilla tells Helen that her husband is dead. At the seaside, Helen and Priscilla go for a drink. Helen is a famous former actress and her dear friend, director Jerry Standing, just died. His funeral is in France in a few days. Helen says she needs to go in order to reinvigorate her career, and tries unsuccessfully to persuade Priscilla to accompany her. Helen walks off. Priscilla tries to phone home, but finds her purse is missing. She talks to Frank, who is as rude and unpleasant as ever. Priscilla is on the coach back, and sees Helen on the hard shoulder. In an attempt to force her onboard, the driver and carer step off. REG gets into the driver's seat. Priscilla helps Helen onboard, who tells Reg to shut doors, leaving the driver and carer outside. Reg drives the coach (badly) to the ferry terminal, and the two women leave. Helen and Priscilla sneak on to a ferry with another OAP party. Helen pretends to faint to distract the PASSPORT CONTROL OFFICERS. On board, Helen is drinking heavily. Priscilla sees her missing purse in Helen's bag. As they leave the ferry, Priscilla leaps into the water to save a LITTLE BOY from drowning. Next morning, she comes to in hospital. Helen is smartly dressed, and says they have to leave – and that she "found" Priscilla's purse. A JOURNALIST is waiting outside. Helen tries to woo the cameras but they are actually interested in Priscilla's heroics. The boy's MOTHER thanks Priscilla, but she angrily tells her she should be more careful. Priscilla says she's going home, and Helen tells her she knows her husband isn't dead – she saw him with her at shops, and he's a bully and a tyrant.

  • Apple Label Discography
    Apple Label Discography 100-800 series (Capitol numbering series) Apple Records was formed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in 1968. The Apple label was intended as a vehicle for the Beatles, their individual recordings and the talent they discovered. A great deal of what appeared on Apple was pretty self indulgent and experimental but they did discover a few good singers and groups. James Taylor recorded his first album on the label. Doris Troy recorded a good soul album and there are 2 albums by John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet. The Beatlesque group Badfinger also issued several albums on the label, the best of which was “Straight Up”. Apple Records fell apart in management chaos in 1974 and 1975 and a bitter split between the Beatles over the management of the company.
