Abigail's Party (UK-import)
Beverly wears low-cut dresses, too much make-up and has a reputation as a man-eating monster. In Mike Leigh's modern classic, 'Abigail's Party', she turns a social get-together between married couples into a time-bomb of emotional tension. Alison Steadman won two Best Actress awards for her portrayal of the bored, bitchy hostess in this savagely funny study of pretentious middle-class social manners.
