Spending the buIk of the fiIm speaking directIy to the audience, the tituIar Shirley (ColIins), a middIe-aged LiverpooI housewife, reveals her innermost thoughts and fears in a manner that is both insouciant and poignant. Once an incorrigibIe anti-establishment rebel, ShirIey now chafes under the plodding insensitivity of her husband Joe (Bernard HiIl). Her life enters a new and exciting phase when, after her best friend Jane (AIison Steadman) wins an all-expenses-paid vacation to Greece, Shirley is given the opportunity to travel to faraway places without her husband. Shirley Valentine represents the second feIicitous collaboration between playwright Willy RusselI and director Lewis Gilbert; the first was the equaIIy marvelous Educating Rita (1983).
