The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne -- Painfully shy, unmarried but ever-hopeful, Judith Hearne is immediately smitten by her new boarding house acquaintance, James Madden. But is James in love with Judith... or attracted only by the money she can bring to his latest get-rich-quick scheme?

Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn star as the legendary lovers Robin Hood and Maid Marion, who reunite twenty years after their first meeting. Now the mother superior of a nunnery, Marion finds herselfdrawn to a somewhat less agile Robin Hood when he returns from a lengthy Crusade in the Holy Lands.

In this beautifully filmed tale of Paganism vs. Christianity set during the middle ages, a young girl is established as an Anchoress (a walled-in recluse) after she has a vision of the Virgin Mary. Her awakening sexuality disrupts the order of society, and its government and religion are thrown into turmoil.

Two-time Academy Award® winner Maggie Smith (The Harry Potter films, Gosford Park) delivers a stunning performance in this richly emotional tale of desperate longings, secret vices, and the power of romantic illusions. Painfully shy, unmarried but ever-hopeful, Judith Hearne (Smith) is immediately smitten by her new boarding house acquaintance, James Madden (Oscar® nominee Bob Hoskins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit). But is James in love with Judith… or attracted only by the money she can bring to his latest get-rich-quick scheme? A brilliantly acted, unforgettable dramatic tour de force from Oscar® nominated director Jack Clayton (Room at the Top).
