Being Julia

Romantic drama - based on Somerset Maugham novel of 1937, filmed in England. Aging actress at the height of her career has an affair with a young admirer and loses him to a younger woman. This same younger woman manages to gain audition to her next play and has an affair with her director husband. The accomplished actress has been slighted 3 times by the younger girl and on opening night takes revenge. A most unusual and delightful ending. Slow at times but entertaining nonetheless. Performances are authentic. It is a fun look at the theater.
