Directed by Robert Aldrich

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

An aging lesbian actress (Beryl Reid) explodes into hysteria when faced with the prospect of being written out of the soap opera that made her a household name and the disintegration of her longtime relationship with a younger woman in Robert Aldrich’s adaptation of the hit play. Famously given an X rating solely for its lesbian subject matter — despite featuring no explicit sex or nudity — THE KILLING OF SISTER GEORGE is a fascinating example of both Hollywood homophobia and exquisite camp.
