The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne
The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne is a 1987 drama film made by HandMade Films Ltd. and United British Artists( UBA) starring Maggie Smith and Bob Hoskins.
It was directed by Jack Clayton( his final theatrical film) and produced by Richard Johnsonand Peter Nelson, with George Harrison and Denis O'Brien as executive producers.
The music score was by Georges Delerue and the cinematography by Peter Hannan.
The screenplay was by Peter Nelson from the novel" Judith Hearne" by Northern Irish- Canadian writer Brian Moore.
The story presents" a character study film about a woman's rage against the Church for her wasted life".
Moore wrote the novel after leaving Ireland, in part because of the religious conflict there, and was living in Canada.
The book was published in 1955 and was optioned for the stage and screen almost immediately.
John Huston optioned it for a film with Katharine Hepburn.
Director Irvin Kershner planned on casting Deborah Kerr.
Eventually, Jack Clayton, a Catholic himself, was chosen to direct.
The cast also features Wendy Hiller, Marie Kean, Ian McNeice, Alan Devlin, Prunella Scales, Sheila Reid, and Aidan Gillen in his first film appearance.
The novel is set in Belfast, but filming took place in Dublin.
BBC Radio 4 produced a radio drama adaptation directed by Michael Quinn in 1995.
Jack Clayton
Jack Clayton (1 March 1921 – 26 February 1995) was a British film director and producer who specialised in bringing literary works to the screen.
Starting out as a teenage studio "tea boy" in 1935, Clayton worked his way up through British film industry in a career that spanned nearly sixty years.
He rapidly rose through a series of increasingly important roles in British film production, before shooting to international prominence as a director with his Oscar-winning feature film debut, the drama "Room at the Top" (1959); this was followed by the much-lauded horror film "The Innocents" (1961), adapted from Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw".
Clayton looked set for a brilliant future, and he was highly regarded by peers and critics alike, but a number of overlapping factors hampered his career.
He was a notably 'choosy' director, who by his own admission "never made a film I didn't want to make", and he repeatedly turned down films (including "Alien") that became huge hits for other directors.
But he was also dogged by bad luck and bad timing - the Hollywood studios labelled him as 'difficult', and studio politics quashed a string of planned films in the 1970s, which were either taken out of his hands, or cancelled in the final stages of preparation.
In 1977, he suffered a double blow - his current film was cancelled just two weeks before shooting was due to begin, and a few months later he suffered a serious stroke which robbed him of the ability to speak, and put his career on hold for five years.
Despite his relatively small "oeuvre", the films of Jack Clayton continue to be appreciated, and both they and their director have been widely admired and praised by leading film critics like Pauline Kael and Roger Ebert, and by film industry peers including Harold Pinter, Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, François Truffaut, Tennessee Williams and Steven Spielberg.
