Annette Bening and Jamie Bell vividly bring to screen the romance between Hollywood icon Gloria Grahame and her much younger lover.
In 1981, decades after she rose to fame in Hollywood, the Academy Award-winning star of The Bad and the Beautiful, Gloria Grahame (Bening), is treading the boards in a modest theatre production when she collapses in a Lancaster hotel. Her health failing, she reaches out to former lover, Liverpudlian actor Peter Turner (Bell) who takes her back to his family home and the care of his sympathetic mother, (Julie Walters). Memories of their grand affair soon come flooding back.
