While I’ve watched The Rector’s Wife a lot, it seems to never get old. I guess it’s one of my favorites. If you haven’t seen it, or just haven’t watched it in a while – why not watch it now? Of course you can watch it later – for free – check the image to see how. It’s the best way I’ve found
*** The Rector’s Wife playing NOW!! ***
This is a great movie with Stephen Dillane, Muriel Pavlow, Judy Riley, Gabrielle Lloyd, Jonty Stephens
Basically it’s about:
The deeply moving drama of one woman’s rebellion against convention.
Lindsay Duncan (Under the Tuscan Sun, A Year in Provence) delivers a formidable performance as Anna Bouverie, a 20th-century woman trapped in her role as a vicar’s wife in the English village of Loxford. Arranging church socials, delivering the parish newsletter, and answering the rectory’s endlessly ringing phone, Anna feels stifled by her marriage and her circumstances. “I married the man, not the job,” she pleads. “I’m not an outboard motor. I’m another boat!”
Anna’s first tentative steps toward self-definition meet resistance from her increasingly distant husband as well as from patronizing parishioners. But when two other men in her orbit offer their support and perhaps more Anna must sort out their real motives and make her choices.
Also featuring Miles Anderson, Stephen Dillane, Pam Ferris, Ronald Pickup, Joyce Redman, and Prunella Scales. As seen on Masterpiece Theatre.
