Separate Tables (1958)

This ensemble romance drama stars Rita Hayworth, Deborah Kerr, David Niven, Burt Lancaster, and Wendy Hiller. The Hotel Beauregard in England hosts various long-term and summer residents who join each other for meals but at separate tables. They all have problems, and the plot deals with a short period where some things come to a head. Dealing with fear and forgiveness, this film based on a duo of stage plays is thought-provoking and stirring. All the actors are excellent, with Niven and Hiller winning Oscars for their performances. Violence against a woman trigger warning.
