"Separate Tables" touchingly and humorously examines the lives of the lonely-hearted guests at a hotel on England's south coast. Sibyl, a demure spinster on holiday with her mother, is attracted to a man who claims to be a war hero, but who's hiding his insecurities behind bravado. Eventually, Sibyl finds the courage to stand up to her overbearing mother and live her own life. The hotel's owner, Miss Cooper, is involved with a cynical writer -- until his gorgeous ex-wife shows up unexpectedly and uses her feminine wiles to lure him back. (texte officiel du distributeur)

A smart depiction of human mistrustfulness, the automatic creation of prejudices and the avoidance of difficult life obligations. A group of interesting characters in a closed space confronting themselves and their pasts, and though they are quite numerous by the end, the result is still strong and warming. The excellent cast lead by David Niven and the charming Rita Hayworth helps a lot, of course. Overall, though, a good rendition of theatrical material and the big screen doesn’t spoil its atmosphere and ideas. 80%
