Gay Jewish doctor Daniel Hirsh (Peter Finch) and office worker Alex Greville (Glenda Jackson) are both in relationships with designer Bob Elkin (Murray Head). But as Bob flits from one partner to the other, Daniel and Alex soon begin to question whether 'half a loaf' really is better than none.
A highly personal story based on director John Schlesinger's own life, and set amongst the people and places of his native North London, Sunday Bloody Sunday swept the BAFTAs with wins including for Best Film, Best Director, and lead actor awards for both Finch and Jackson.
The feature will screen with Schlesinger's short, Sunday in the Park (1956, 15min), an impressionistic documentary showcasing the sights and sounds of a typical 1950s afternoon in Hyde Park.
The Consummate Professional: John Schlesinger at 100 is a UK-wide retrospective curated by Marc David Jacobs and Claire Nicolas, taking place from February to May 2026. More information on https://schlesinger-100.webflow.io/'
