The Killing of Sister George

Dir. Robert Aldrich, 135 mins. USA. (1968), Cert 18

Outstanding performances from Beryl Reid and Susannah York mark this controversial classic as a standout film in the cinematic history of lesbian representations.  Reid and York’s dysfunctional relationship is in decline as Reid’s daytime serial character, Sister George, is being killed off by a predatory lesbian BBC executive (Coral Browne).
