June 22, 2018 8:13 AM

Based on Peter Turner's memoir, the film follows the playful but passionate relationship between Turner and the eccentric Academy Award-winning actress Gloria Grahame in 1978 Liverpool. What starts as a vibrant affair between a legendary femme fatale and her young lover quickly grows into a deeper relationship, with Turner being the person Gloria turns to for comfort. Their passion and lust for life is tested to the limits by events beyond their control.

Ooh, neat! I have an history-crush on Grahame. If you haven't seen In A Lonely Place, do so ASAP! I'm not sure Bening would be my first choice to star, appearance-wise, but that's a quibble.
