lunch hour is, above all, a film about spontaneous love, its rise, its fall, and its unwanted impact on a sexually conservative culture. in part, it fails to impress, but look further than the film’s occasionally uncreative dialog and acting, into its heart. there, you will find a great oddball film, bursting with style, attitude, and, above all, love .

east farmingdale the arena players repertory company production of jean kerr' s'' lunch hour'' begins, rather rudely, with a glare that produces the effect of an oncoming car flashing bright lights in your face. it is supposed to suggest the southampton sunlight pouring into a beach house, and as the evening wears on, it turns out to be but a glimmer compared to the glaring void that' s at the center of mrs. kerr' s play .
the story started its life as a radio play on the bbc third programme, and was later brought to the london stage in 1961. but, none of these portrays where as interesting or original as james hill’s film version of lunch hour in 1962. this version, produced by eyeline films, was not a huge success on its release, but has since gained the following of large cult and art - house audiences, due to its challenging narrative structure, and hidden cultural commentaries .
it is at this point that lunch hour changes tonally, introducing elements of non - linear storytelling and imagined dream sequences. the alone time this couple were desperately seeking proves to be their biggest challenge. as if the film were trying to say that, you never really know a person until you have spent time alone with them. for the film’s central relationship, this sequence is a step down, but for the film’s audience, it is here that the film majorly steps up .
colonial american mealtimes were originally based on english rural life, with a main meal known as “dinner” in the middle of the day. the word “lunch” referred to a snack that might be eaten at any time of the day or night, even on the run. but during the 19th century, under the pressures of industrialization, this meal pattern began to change. nowhere was the change more dramatic than in new york, the burgeoning center for trade, manufacturing, and finance. employees were given a fixed time for their midday meal, often a half hour or less. so, dinner was pushed to the end of the day, and lunch settled into a scheduled place on the clock between the hours of twelve and two .
aside from the film’s great and subtle technical teasing, is its successfulness in creating a satisfying mood for 60s london, and a newfound sexual revolution. lunch hour creates a local, working - class cinematic mood. it does this without looking down or up to anyone; instead, it looks straight ahead at a certain british working - class society of the 60s, treating its characters as human beings, and never as stereotypes. because of this, a strong feeling of truthfulness is created, allowing us more leniency towards the film, and its defining messages .
if'' lunch hour,'' which is being seen here in its island debut, were being promoted as a piece of sensationalism, the blurbs could titillate into believing it' s about'' wife swapping in the hamptons.'' a psychiatrist, who specializes in marriage counseling and is perceived by his wife as inert, repressed and uptight, analyzes relationships but remains at a distance from them. he finds out she is having an affair when her lover' s wife - who has telephoned mysteriously and announced herself as'' mrs. amagansett'' - barges in and tells him so .
i met him earlier this year and got along very well with him. he is in his forties now and works in television production and has, funnily enough, done some writing. he met the rest of my family over lunch and got along well with them, too. we all hope to see a lot more of him .
at this point, the plot seems commonly overused. and, certain points in the film, particularly in script construction, seem lacking of real and deep emotional power. this, however, picks up dramatically, once a difficult social conflict is presented in the story, one that is a leaping point for the rest of the film. the two of them hold so much love and passion for each other, and, naturally, wish to express this. they each find themselves in positions of little privacy from the world, so decide to make a habit of meeting up during their lunch hour. however, friends, or members of the public, constantly interrupt them; a feeling of childlike constraint is placed on them by society. they start to feel naughty, or that they are doing something wrong by showing affection in public. more than anything, the pair needs time to be alone. however, when they finally find that time, it proves not to be as pleasant or helpful as they first thought it would be .

sir john mortimer, the celebrated playwright and author, has discovered that he has an illegitimate son from a brief but passionate affair with wendy craig, the actress, more than 40 years ago .
the result of their liaison was a boy, ross. miss craig and her husband, who already had their own son, brought him up as their own .
sir john, 81, found out about the child only in the past year, when miss craig, now 70, fearing that the story was about to become public, confirmed to him that the child was his .
sir john spoke yesterday about his joy at the discovery in an exclusive interview with the telegraph. he has now met ross and intends to see him again .
i am not ashamed about this and i don' t think that my son, ross, is either ,
he said at his oxfordshire home yesterday .
sir john' s relationship with miss craig began in 1960 when she was appearing in one of his first plays, the wrong side of the park, at the cambridge theatre in london. both the playwright, then 37, and the 26 - year - old craig were married to other people at the time .
it was the sixties and we were all a lot more excitable then ,
said the creator of rumpole of the bailey .
wendy ended the relationship because her husband had found out about it and she hadn' t actually felt comfortable about the situation we had got into for a while. she must have been pregnant when we broke up, but she hadn' t told me. we didn' t see each other after that except, maybe, later in life where we might have seen each other at public events .
he had married a writer, penelope fletcher, in 1949 and had a son and a daughter by her .
later, she became better known as the writer, penelope mortimer. miss craig had married john
jack
bentley, a trombonist, scriptwriter and journalist, in 1955 .
ross was born in 1962, four years after alaster, the son she had had by bentley, who now works as the principal oboist for the birmingham royal ballet sinfonia .
sir john said :
i never talked to jack, but i understand he made wendy swear on oath that she would never talk about who fathered ross, and that was how it was. my understanding is that wendy had not kept it a secret from our son, and told him about it when he was old enough to understand .
i can see why wendy did what she did and i think it would be silly if i were to say now that i missed out on the chance of seeing him grow up or whatever. the fact is that i have other children and have not been deprived of the joys of fatherhood .
he said no formal dna test had been undertaken to establish paternity. he accepted that ross bentley was his son, and pointed out that he bore a striking resemblance to his actress daughter, emily mortimer .
at her home in cookham dean, berkshire, yesterday, miss craig, declined to talk about sir john or her younger son, but did not deny that the story was true .
it is just not something that i want to talk about ,
she said .
and it' s not something i will ever want to talk about .
jack bentley died of prostate cancer in 1994. ross, who is believed to live in london, was on holiday yesterday and could not be contacted .
both the plays on which sir john and miss craig collaborated on dealt with marriages under pressure .
miss craig went on to become a household name, appearing in television series such as butterflies and the nanny. in 1972, she won a mother of the year poll after starring as the scatter - brained mother with a captivating smile in the hugely popular comedy series, not in front of the children .
how can i be best mum ?
she said at the time, reluctant to accept the prize .
if anyone deserves the award it' s my mother, who looks after the boys while i' m away .
when she appeared at the kings theatre, edinburgh, in a 2002 production of somerset maugham' s the circle, she said of her character, whose scandalous love affair was revealed years later :
she' s a very passionate woman. she does things on the spur of the moment and, when you think about it, she did do something really rather dreadful, but the play makes it almost heroic that she abandoned everything for love... she was just crazy with love and did not think it through .
ross bentley co - wrote with jack bentley the short - lived 1980s bbc television comedy series laura and disorder, in which miss craig played a liberated woman returning to britain after 10 years in america .
miss craig became a committed christian in 1984 after undergoing a mid - life crisis precipitated by the death of her beloved dog, tallis .
one of the few occasions in more recent years when miss craig and sir john saw each other was at a requiem mass for their mutual friend, the this is your life presenter eamonn andrews, at westminster cathedral in 1987, but sir john said yesterday that he did not recall talking to her on that occasion .
after he and penelope mortimer divorced in 1971, he married penelope gollop the following year. they have two daughters, rosie, 20, and the actress, emily, 32 .
but her personal favourite from this era is this little known self - contained drama .
was directed by documentary filmmaker james hill who later went on to helm born free .
reviously a radio play and a theatre production, it was adapted for the screen in 1962 .
to promote the new blu - ray release shirley anne field spoke to journalist matthew sweet on bbc radio 4’s film programme. she recalled of mortimer
“john was a very wishful man and he also became all the things he wished. he wished for lovers and intrigues and divorces and marriages and lots of children. and he got it all. i don’t know how to say this but a very slight seediness in the man is part of john. he also had a very sweet side... for 10 years he was very closely in my life and i remember all the joy and warmth he brought to it. john had this ear for dialogue. ”
was produced by eyeline films – a small london based production company that specialised in documentary and advertising films. it was run by a group of close friends who shared a passion for quality films with a realist angle: producers anthony perry, alfred shaughnessy and directors guy hamilton and charles frend and backed by actor kenneth more. eyeline’s success allowed the company to venture into short feature films .
only received a limited release. not only was it too short for an a or b feature its content wasn’t for the mainstream either .
today the film does feel very dated but it does give us an insight into the early discontent women were experiencing in britain. it’s a brave choice for flipside but doesn’t quite have the punch that other titles in the series have had .

never has jean kerr' s wit had a keener edge or her comic sense more peaks of merriment than in this clever confection which starred gilda radner and sam waterston on broadway as a pair whose spouses are having an affair. they counter by

an affair of their own. he, ironically, is a marriage counsellor and a bit stodgy while his wife easily juggles husband, lover and mother. the other is a kook married to a wealthy man. all ends well for this daffy foursome .

the film’s plot, at first, is somewhat simple. shirley anne field plays a young woman, starting her new job at a london textile and wallpaper company. she quickly catches the eye of robert stephens’s character, an older male manager, working within the same building block. the two are unknown by name, but not by nature. we witness the pair grow closer spiritually, while a tense sexual atmosphere slowly grows between them .
as for our two main actors, shirley anne field easily steals the show, out - acting robert stephens in almost every scene they share. at first, her innocence and inexperience radiate from the screen. but, her character grows in strength as the film does, and by the end, field moves her character forward emotionally, hitting every note perfectly along the way. unfortunately, the same cannot be said of stephens. every now and then, a hint of overacting or overemphasized desperation is dropped, he does, at times, manage to keep a certain amount of warmth about his character. but, compared to field, he is simply outclassed .
for the most part, the film is, fairly conventionally made. however, smart technical tricks are used seamlessly as the film progresses. these include nicely constructed deep - focus shots, of particular note, a scene early in the film, at a park. the pair looks on curiously at a kissing couple in the background, little knowing that this situation perfectly projects the position they will later find themselves in. the film’s creative use of deep - focus allows us to gain storytelling hints and clues, which, in turn, enhances audience experience .
foreshadowing is also used to great effect during the film’s opening sequence, much like hitchcock’s strangers on a train, we are placed point of view, looking out over the front of a moving train. not only does this shot mean a great deal later in the film, the symbolization of train tracks crossing paths as they move, is much like the crossed - paths of our two main characters .

things were changing so much in society at the start of the 1960’s, and this film makes a good effort of reflecting those social and moral changes. i have to agree that robert stephens is probably at his most comfortable on a stage in a theatre, playing shakespeare to the gallery. shirley anne field by contrast was a warm and winning young actress, who rarely gave a less than immaculate performance. best wishes from norfolk, pete .
i’d not heard of this film but your review has stirred me to look it up. i think shirley - anne field is often underrated and i can well believe that her performance overshadows that of stephens. i love robert stephens but he was often guilty of overacting !
thanks an excellent introduction to what sounds like an intriguing film. always thought that saf was under rated. regards from thom at the immortal jukebox. i look forward to more discoveries (and no doubt some disagreements! )

vh1 has rounded out the cast and tapped awkward showrunners chris alberghini and mike chessler as showrunners / executive producers of hourlong scripted drama series daytime divas (formerly satan’s sisters). it’s based on the 2011 book satan’s sisters by star jones, one of the original co - hosts of the view .
the series is set behind the scenes of a long - running daytime television show, chronicling the fireworks that erupt daily between the five female co - hosts. on screen, they are best friends with five very different points of view, but behind the scenes, they inhabit a world of power struggles, cat fights and cocktails .
jones also executive produces satan’s sisters with josh berman (drop dead diva, csi), suzanne de passe (the temptations, lonesome dove) and madison jones. susan levison. amy engelberg and wendy engelberg write and exec produce. suzanne coston serves as co - executive producer. the series is a co - production with sony pictures television .

with everyone' s motivations telegraphed from the first scene, the doctor and the other man' s tattletale wife plot their own pretend affair - a ruse to get their spouses back .
the playwright' s attempt to grapple with contemporary sexuality - in the last scene there' s a reference to'' a new way to solve old problems'' - turns out to be conventional indeed, to no one' s surprise .
which would be just fine and dear if conclusions came out of character comprehension. but there are no real relationships here, no real romance, only a series of one - liners - which are crashingly unfunny and could just as easily be uttered by one character as another - and non sequiturs, which are presumably intended to be hip .

carrie, the other wife, is the too, too, adorable antithesis of the other supposedly sophisitcated characters. with her'' kooky'' behavior and waif - like appearance - she drops things, wears sneakers, socks and oversized clothing and, we' re told, still watches captain kangaroo - this creature is calculated to creep right into our hearts .
in her arena debut, edie jud crinkles up her nose and actually succeeds in being winning enough in the role without being whiny, self - conscious or too much of a gilda radner'' clone.'' (the presence of miss radner, the direction of mike nichols and the reputation of mrs. kerr as a popular humorist all helped - separately and irrelevantly, for none were at their most inventive - to eke out a seven - month run for the play during the 1980 - 81 broadway season. if it had no such names attached, this is just the sort of tepid and tiresome sitcom that would otherwise be shrugged off as a standard one - night stand. )
the arena production, which runs through next sunday, is acceptable, barring those overly emphatic lights. sal zaccaro' s staging is nimble enough, right down to each scene' s feeble fade - out. the ever - attractive and svelte kate hurd gives an enormously appealing performance in the chi - chi part of the doctor' s wife and don frame humanizes the dreary doctor. although frank brescia, carrie' s no - account husband, who could be a vaguely amusing character, and allen mcrae as the meddlesome owner of the house (who finally suggests a lottery to determine who should pair off with whom) are ineffectual, there is a considerable amount of believable acting here, considering the unbelievability of mrs. kerr' s premise and people .
