    Where to Watch

Robert Aldrich directed this well-acted version of Frank Marcus's play about a destructive lesbian relationship. Beryl Reid. Childie: Susannah York. Mrs. Croft: Coral Browne. Leo: Ronald Fraser. Betty: Patricia Medina. Freddie: Hugh Paddick. Ted: Cyril Delevanti. Screenplay by Lukas Heller.

Robert Aldrich's filming of a bitterly witty play by Frank Marcus earned notoriety in 1968 for a lesbian sex scene that was unprecedented in its frankness. THE KILLING OF SISTER GEORGE describes the erosion of a same-sex love affair between a closeted soap opera star (Reid) and a neurotic nymphet (York). Memorably and sometimes hilariously bitchy.
