Separate Tables [VHS]
Travel to the Beauregard Hotel where the eccentric guests all share one common trait - loneliness.  There's Major Pollack (David Niven), who hides a dark secret behind a polished military veneer; Sibyl Railton-Bell (Deborah Kerr), a shy, neurotic old maid who lacks the courage to break away from her domineering mother; John Malcolm (Burt Lancaster), a disenchanted writer who drowns his bitterness in a pool of alcohol; and Ann Shankland (Rita Hayworth), whose narcissism masks a deep fear of growing old alone and unloved.  In one emotional evening, these four unhappy misfits will bare their innermost secrets... and change each other's' lives forever.Nominated for six 1958 Oscars and winner of two, Separate Tables is "a provocative and intelligent film" (Variety), a cinematic masterpiece of compassion and touching sensitivity.
