The Wife of Bath
The Wife of Bath
2003, English. Directed by Andy De Emmony.
Beth Craddock (Julie Walters) is a highly successful television actress in her early fifties but her professional success is not reflected in her private life. She has had four husbands and the fourth (Bill Nighy) is about to leave her for a younger woman. She begins an affair with co-star Jerome (Paul Nicholls) who is 30 years her junior and, despite general disapproval, they are genuinely happy. Unfortunately Jerome's health issues mean that the story does not end well for Beth.
