Event Details
The powerful film version of the novel by L.P. Hartley (The Go-Between, 1971) shared the Palme d’Or at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival. Sarah Miles (who won the Cannes Special Jury Prize for her performance) plays Lady Franklin, an emotionally fragile young widow in post-WWI England, where an unexpected bond with her hired driver (a movingly restrained Robert Shaw) leads to misunderstanding and heartbreak.
