Dame Maggie Smith – Love and Pain and the Whole Damned Thing

A young Maggie Smith, fresh off her Oscar for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, gives a performance infused with subtle introspection and tender sexuality, bringing her star presence to bare in this bittersweet unlikely love story of a lonely British woman in her late 30s on a bus tour of Spain and an 18-year-old privileged American (played by Timothy Bottoms) wandering the country – and his life – aimlessly. These seemingly mismatched lovers journey through emotionally rocky terrain as they travel through the lush Spanish countryside; two strangers, poles apart, both seeking the same thing – the happy ending that life can never guarantee. Our Valentine’s Day offering.
