The Romantic Englishwoman (1975)
Film Synopsis
Elizabeth knows she is a privileged woman. She is happily married to a rich and famous writer. She has a comfortable house and all the material comforts she could ask for. And she has an adorable son. But, despite all this, she is hopelessly bored with her life. On impulse, she takes a trip to Baden-Baden to take stock of her life. Here, she meets an attractive gigolo, Thomas, who is trying to pass himself off as a poet. For a while, Elizabeth is amused by this curious individual but she soon grows tired of him and heads back to England. On her return, she finds that her husband, Lewis, has started writing a book which oddly seems to resemble their life together. It is at this point that Thomas unexpectedly re-enters Elizabeth's life, apparently at the invitation of her husband. Is it possible that Lewis suspects Thomas is her secret lover?© James Travers
