Separate Tables 1958 Full Movie

Separate Tables Full Movie

The film is set in the Hotel Beauregard in Bournemouth on the south coast of England. Major David Angus Pollock (David Niven) tries but fails to hide an article about himself in the West Hampshire Weekly News. His attempt to keep the article from the eyes of the other guests at the residential hotel only succeeds in heightening their awareness of it, particularly the strict Mrs Railton-Bell (Gladys Cooper) and the more relaxed and compassionate Lady Matheson (Cathleen Nesbitt).

Plot Summary

The two women read in the paper that Major Pollock has pleaded guilty to sexually harassing several young women in a theatre. However, the filed complaints are, in themselves, questionable. Mrs Railton-Bell wants Major Pollock expelled from the hotel and holds a meeting with other long-term residents to decide the issue before presenting it to the manager, Miss Pat Cooper (Wendy Hiller). Mrs Railton-Bell leads the meeting arguing for the Major’s expulsion, and despite the opposing views of the other residents, she informs Miss Cooper that the Major must leave.

Anne and John’s Encounter

Anne (Rita Hayworth) and John (Burt Lancaster), who were formerly married to each other, meet outside. Anne coolly teases John, informing him that she is engaged; John tells her he is engaged as well but does not disclose that he is engaged to Miss Cooper. John claims that though Anne could have married other men who were wealthier and more important, she chose him, a man in a lower economic class, in order to manipulate and degrade him fully. Despite this, John and Anne admit they are still attracted to each other. She asks him to come to her room.

Anne’s Emotional Breakdown

As they walk into the hotel, Miss Cooper tells Anne she has a phone call. Miss Cooper asks John, knowing Anne is his ex-wife, to consider the real reason for Anne’s visit. John defends Anne at first, claiming that all his misfortunes are his own fault, but changes his mind when Miss Cooper tells him that Anne is talking on the phone to his publisher, the only person who knows that John and Miss Cooper are engaged. John confronts Anne in her bedroom. When she attempts to seduce him, he cruelly tells her that, in the light, he can see that she has aged and without her physical beauty, it will be impossible for her to continue to manipulate people.

The next morning, Mrs Railton-Bell’s downtrodden daughter Sibyl (Deborah Kerr) tells Major Pollock that she knows what he did. He explains his fears to Sibyl, and they share a moment of understanding. Sibyl worries about him finding a new home.

A Resolution

When John returns, Miss Cooper tells him that Anne is unwell emotionally and asks him to see her before she checks out of the hotel. After John leaves, Miss Cooper attempts to persuade Major Pollock to stay, but he refuses. Major Pollock enters the dining room the next morning, where an awkward silence is broken by John’s greeting. The others follow suit and start conversing with him. Mrs Railton-Bell is angered but Sibyl chooses to stay and talk to Major Pollock.

As the hotel residents eat breakfast at separate tables, John and Anne appear to reconcile, unsure of their future happiness together or apart.
