Movie Reviews of Separate Tables
Movie Review: A must for any classic movie fan
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a tremendous drama, when you are in 'the mood' to watch a classic drama. Top notch cast & acting ! Rita Hayworth and Burt Lancaster and David Niven all stand out in this. The scenes with Hayworth and Lancaster just electrify the screen, you can feel the tension. Overall fine performances by all to be honest. This a great movie to watch on a nice quiet/lazy weekend. I very much enjoyed the story and drama in this. Watch this and see why it has the words Academy Award next to it.. Even though he had a smaller supporting role in this movie - the star of the Birds is in this - none other than the excellent Rod Taylor - here is a chance to see what he did before he achieved the top spot in the Birds..Movie Review: Polite Loneliness
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a sensitive and refined treatment of the subject of Loneliness. The 'separate tables' are located in a small English resort hotel. The main characters live in their own little worlds, and their efforts at communicating with each other falter and fail. Most memorable is the character played by Burt Lancaster a formerly successful somewhat discredited writer who is engaged to the hotel's owner ( Wendy Hiller) but is troubled at the appearance at the hotel of his former wife( Played by Rita Hayworth)
There is a certain quietness and edgy bleakness in the movie.
It is an impression of life winding down in sadness, tastefully, politely, but nonetheless in loneliness and despair.
Movie Review: Fantastic Drawing Room Drama
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm surprised this film isn't currently in print because to me it's indispensible. Where to begin. If Oscars were given for ensembles the cast of "Separate Tables" would go to the front of the line. You can't debate the Oscars awarded David Niven and Wendy Hiller but the revelation to my mind is Rita Hayworth. It may be a case of diminished expectations but Hayworth punches holes in her glamour queen persona. The script has a keen understanding for the impulses of the human heart, it's loneliness and fears alike. Despite the film's stage origins Director Delbert Mann keeps the film from feeling stagy. Undisputed classic.Movie Review: Seperate Tables
Summary: 5 Stars
What in lesser hands could have been a mucky soap-fest becomes instead a subtle, sensitive, intelligent film thanks to director Delbert Mann's deft handling of Rattigan's Oscar-nominated script. The first-rate group of ensemble players include Niven, Kerr, Lancaster, Hayworth, and the fabulous Wendy Hiller--who (like Niven) won an Oscar for her performance as Pat Cooper, the innkeeper having an affair with Lancaster. "Tables" remains a multi-layered human drama of the highest order.Movie Review: A Study In Relationships
Summary: 5 Stars
What a splendid story filmed with a beautiful cast doing their best work.
This film can be seen many times for enjoyment and a chance to get away from today's horrible events. It shows once again that people often display kindness when an attack is made on a wounded person. It also depicts various relationships in this small hotel by the sea.
