Anne Bancroft gives one of her finest performances of her career as a deeply troubled and tormented wife in this powerful 1961 British drama directed by Jack Clayton (Room At The Top) and scripted by Harold Pinter.
Tortured by thoughts that her husband Jake (Peter Finch) may be having an affair, Jo Armitage (Anne Bancroft) has a nervous breakdown in Harrods and her life begins to crumble all about her. But is her husband's infidelity really to blame? Or does Jo have deeper, more complex problems? Why does she have so many children - and is her seemingly perfect life all it appears on the surface?
Based on the acclaimed book by Penelope Mortimer, The Pumpkin Eater is a sharpely observed portrait of a marriage between two flawed individuals with wildly different needs. The film also boasts outstanding supporting performances from both James Mason and Yootha Joyce.
