lunch hour is , above all , a film about spontaneous love , its rise , its fall , and its unwanted impact on a sexually conservative culture . in part , it fails to impress , but look further than the film’s occasionally uncreative dialog and acting , into its heart . there , you will find a great oddball film , bursting with style , attitude , and , above all , love .

east farmingdale the arena players repertory company production of jean kerr ' s ' ' lunch hour ' ' begins , rather rudely , with a glare that produces the effect of an oncoming car flashing bright lights in your face . it is supposed to suggest the southampton sunlight pouring into a beach house , and as the evening wears on , it turns out to be but a glimmer compared to the glaring void that ' s at the center of mrs . kerr ' s play .

the story started its life as a radio play on the bbc third programme , and was later brought to the london stage in 1961 . but , none of these portrays where as interesting or original as james hill’s film version of lunch hour in 1962 . this version , produced by eyeline films , was not a huge success on its release , but has since gained the following of large cult and art - house audiences , due to its challenging narrative structure , and hidden cultural commentaries .

it is at this point that lunch hour changes tonally , introducing elements of non - linear storytelling and imagined dream sequences . the alone time this couple were desperately seeking proves to be their biggest challenge . as if the film were trying to say that , you never really know a person until you have spent time alone with them . for the film’s central relationship , this sequence is a step down , but for the film’s audience , it is here that the film majorly steps up .

colonial american mealtimes were originally based on english rural life , with a main meal known as “dinner” in the middle of the day . the word “lunch” referred to a snack that might be eaten at any time of the day or night , even on the run . but during the 19th century , under the pressures of industrialization , this meal pattern began to change . nowhere was the change more dramatic than in new york , the burgeoning center for trade , manufacturing , and finance . employees were given a fixed time for their midday meal , often a half hour or less . so , dinner was pushed to the end of the day , and lunch settled into a scheduled place on the clock between the hours of twelve and two .

aside from the film’s great and subtle technical teasing , is its successfulness in creating a satisfying mood for 60s london , and a newfound sexual revolution . lunch hour creates a local , working - class cinematic mood . it does this without looking down or up to anyone ; instead , it looks straight ahead at a certain british working - class society of the 60s , treating its characters as human beings , and never as stereotypes . because of this , a strong feeling of truthfulness is created , allowing us more leniency towards the film , and its defining messages .

if ' ' lunch hour , ' ' which is being seen here in its island debut , were being promoted as a piece of sensationalism , the blurbs could titillate into believing it ' s about ' ' wife swapping in the hamptons . ' ' a psychiatrist , who specializes in marriage counseling and is perceived by his wife as inert , repressed and uptight , analyzes relationships but remains at a distance from them . he finds out she is having an affair when her lover ' s wife - who has telephoned mysteriously and announced herself as ' ' mrs . amagansett ' ' - barges in and tells him so .

" i met him earlier this year and got along very well with him . he is in his forties now and works in television production and has , funnily enough , done some writing . he met the rest of my family over lunch and got along well with them , too . we all hope to see a lot more of him . "

at this point , the plot seems commonly overused . and , certain points in the film , particularly in script construction , seem lacking of real and deep emotional power . this , however , picks up dramatically , once a difficult social conflict is presented in the story , one that is a leaping point for the rest of the film . the two of them hold so much love and passion for each other , and , naturally , wish to express this . they each find themselves in positions of little privacy from the world , so decide to make a habit of meeting up during their lunch hour . however , friends , or members of the public , constantly interrupt them ; a feeling of childlike constraint is placed on them by society . they start to feel naughty , or that they are doing something wrong by showing affection in public . more than anything , the pair needs time to be alone . however , when they finally find that time , it proves not to be as pleasant or helpful as they first thought it would be .

: they can ' t spell , they can ' t type , they make 15 pounds a week , which took me the best part of my life to rise up to , and what use are they ? will you please tell me that , number two ? they sit and read their horoscopes all day , they fill their desks with wet towels and flannels and toothpaste , they bung up the toilet with tea leaves , they burst into tears if you so much as mention the fact that they ' re half an hour late . what earthly use they are , i don ' t . . .

sir john mortimer , the celebrated playwright and author , has discovered that he has an illegitimate son from a brief but passionate affair with wendy craig , the actress , more than 40 years ago .

the result of their liaison was a boy , ross . miss craig and her husband , who already had their own son , brought him up as their own .

sir john , 81 , found out about the child only in the past year , when miss craig , now 70 , fearing that the story was about to become public , confirmed to him that the child was his .

sir john spoke yesterday about his joy at the discovery in an exclusive interview with the telegraph . he has now met ross and intends to see him again .

" i am not ashamed about this and i don ' t think that my son , ross , is either , " he said at his oxfordshire home yesterday .

sir john ' s relationship with miss craig began in 1960 when she was appearing in one of his first plays , the wrong side of the park , at the cambridge theatre in london . both the playwright , then 37 , and the 26 - year - old craig were married to other people at the time .

" it was the sixties and we were all a lot more excitable then , " said the creator of rumpole of the bailey .

" wendy ended the relationship because her husband had found out about it and she hadn ' t actually felt comfortable about the situation we had got into for a while . she must have been pregnant when we broke up , but she hadn ' t told me . we didn ' t see each other after that except , maybe , later in life where we might have seen each other at public events . "

he had married a writer , penelope fletcher , in 1949 and had a son and a daughter by her .

later , she became better known as the writer , penelope mortimer . miss craig had married john " jack " bentley , a trombonist , scriptwriter and journalist , in 1955 .

ross was born in 1962 , four years after alaster , the son she had had by bentley , who now works as the principal oboist for the birmingham royal ballet sinfonia .

sir john said : " i never talked to jack , but i understand he made wendy swear on oath that she would never talk about who fathered ross , and that was how it was . my understanding is that wendy had not kept it a secret from our son , and told him about it when he was old enough to understand .

" i can see why wendy did what she did and i think it would be silly if i were to say now that i missed out on the chance of seeing him grow up or whatever . the fact is that i have other children and have not been deprived of the joys of fatherhood . "

he said no formal dna test had been undertaken to establish paternity . he accepted that ross bentley was his son , and pointed out that he bore a striking resemblance to his actress daughter , emily mortimer .

at her home in cookham dean , berkshire , yesterday , miss craig , declined to talk about sir john or her younger son , but did not deny that the story was true .

" it is just not something that i want to talk about , " she said . " and it ' s not something i will ever want to talk about . "

jack bentley died of prostate cancer in 1994 . ross , who is believed to live in london , was on holiday yesterday and could not be contacted .

both the plays on which sir john and miss craig collaborated on dealt with marriages under pressure .

miss craig went on to become a household name , appearing in television series such as butterflies and the nanny . in 1972 , she won a mother of the year poll after starring as the scatter - brained mother with a captivating smile in the hugely popular comedy series , not in front of the children .

" how can i be best mum ? " she said at the time , reluctant to accept the prize . " if anyone deserves the award it ' s my mother , who looks after the boys while i ' m away . "

when she appeared at the kings theatre , edinburgh , in a 2002 production of somerset maugham ' s the circle , she said of her character , whose scandalous love affair was revealed years later : " she ' s a very passionate woman . she does things on the spur of the moment and , when you think about it , she did do something really rather dreadful , but the play makes it almost heroic that she abandoned everything for love . . . she was just crazy with love and did not think it through . "

ross bentley co - wrote with jack bentley the short - lived 1980s bbc television comedy series laura and disorder , in which miss craig played a liberated woman returning to britain after 10 years in america .

miss craig became a committed christian in 1984 after undergoing a mid - life crisis precipitated by the death of her beloved dog , tallis .

one of the few occasions in more recent years when miss craig and sir john saw each other was at a requiem mass for their mutual friend , the this is your life presenter eamonn andrews , at westminster cathedral in 1987 , but sir john said yesterday that he did not recall talking to her on that occasion .

after he and penelope mortimer divorced in 1971 , he married penelope gollop the following year . they have two daughters , rosie , 20 , and the actress , emily , 32 .

but her personal favourite from this era is this little known self - contained drama .

was directed by documentary filmmaker james hill who later went on to helm born free .

reviously a radio play and a theatre production , it was adapted for the screen in 1962 .

to promote the new blu - ray release shirley anne field spoke to journalist matthew sweet on bbc radio 4’s film programme . she recalled of mortimer

“john was a very wishful man and he also became all the things he wished . he wished for lovers and intrigues and divorces and marriages and lots of children . and he got it all . i don’t know how to say this but a very slight seediness in the man is part of john . he also had a very sweet side . . . for 10 years he was very closely in my life and i remember all the joy and warmth he brought to it . john had this ear for dialogue . ”

was produced by eyeline films – a small london based production company that specialised in documentary and advertising films . it was run by a group of close friends who shared a passion for quality films with a realist angle : producers anthony perry , alfred shaughnessy and directors guy hamilton and charles frend and backed by actor kenneth more . eyeline’s success allowed the company to venture into short feature films .

only received a limited release . not only was it too short for an a or b feature its content wasn’t for the mainstream either .

today the film does feel very dated but it does give us an insight into the early discontent women were experiencing in britain . it’s a brave choice for flipside but doesn’t quite have the punch that other titles in the series have had .

never has jean kerr ' s wit had a keener edge or her comic sense more peaks of merriment than in this clever confection which starred gilda radner and sam waterston on broadway as a pair whose spouses are having an affair . they counter by " inventing " an affair of their own . he , ironically , is a marriage counsellor and a bit stodgy while his wife easily juggles husband , lover and mother . the other is a kook married to a wealthy man . all ends well for this daffy foursome .

the film’s plot , at first , is somewhat simple . shirley anne field plays a young woman , starting her new job at a london textile and wallpaper company . she quickly catches the eye of robert stephens’s character , an older male manager , working within the same building block . the two are unknown by name , but not by nature . we witness the pair grow closer spiritually , while a tense sexual atmosphere slowly grows between them .

as for our two main actors , shirley anne field easily steals the show , out - acting robert stephens in almost every scene they share . at first , her innocence and inexperience radiate from the screen . but , her character grows in strength as the film does , and by the end , field moves her character forward emotionally , hitting every note perfectly along the way . unfortunately , the same cannot be said of stephens . every now and then , a hint of overacting or overemphasized desperation is dropped , he does , at times , manage to keep a certain amount of warmth about his character . but , compared to field , he is simply outclassed .

for the most part , the film is , fairly conventionally made . however , smart technical tricks are used seamlessly as the film progresses . these include nicely constructed deep - focus shots , of particular note , a scene early in the film , at a park . the pair looks on curiously at a kissing couple in the background , little knowing that this situation perfectly projects the position they will later find themselves in . the film’s creative use of deep - focus allows us to gain storytelling hints and clues , which , in turn , enhances audience experience .

foreshadowing is also used to great effect during the film’s opening sequence , much like hitchcock’s strangers on a train , we are placed point of view , looking out over the front of a moving train . not only does this shot mean a great deal later in the film , the symbolization of train tracks crossing paths as they move , is much like the crossed - paths of our two main characters .

things were changing so much in society at the start of the 1960’s , and this film makes a good effort of reflecting those social and moral changes . i have to agree that robert stephens is probably at his most comfortable on a stage in a theatre , playing shakespeare to the gallery . shirley anne field by contrast was a warm and winning young actress , who rarely gave a less than immaculate performance . best wishes from norfolk , pete .

i’d not heard of this film but your review has stirred me to look it up . i think shirley - anne field is often underrated and i can well believe that her performance overshadows that of stephens . i love robert stephens but he was often guilty of overacting !

with everyone ' s motivations telegraphed from the first scene , the doctor and the other man ' s tattletale wife plot their own pretend affair - a ruse to get their spouses back .

the playwright ' s attempt to grapple with contemporary sexuality - in the last scene there ' s a reference to ' ' a new way to solve old problems ' ' - turns out to be conventional indeed , to no one ' s surprise .

which would be just fine and dear if conclusions came out of character comprehension . but there are no real relationships here , no real romance , only a series of one - liners - which are crashingly unfunny and could just as easily be uttered by one character as another - and non sequiturs , which are presumably intended to be hip .

carrie , the other wife , is the too , too , adorable antithesis of the other supposedly sophisitcated characters . with her ' ' kooky ' ' behavior and waif - like appearance - she drops things , wears sneakers , socks and oversized clothing and , we ' re told , still watches captain kangaroo - this creature is calculated to creep right into our hearts .

in her arena debut , edie jud crinkles up her nose and actually succeeds in being winning enough in the role without being whiny , self - conscious or too much of a gilda radner ' ' clone . ' ' ( the presence of miss radner , the direction of mike nichols and the reputation of mrs . kerr as a popular humorist all helped - separately and irrelevantly , for none were at their most inventive - to eke out a seven - month run for the play during the 1980 - 81 broadway season . if it had no such names attached , this is just the sort of tepid and tiresome sitcom that would otherwise be shrugged off as a standard one - night stand . )

the arena production , which runs through next sunday , is acceptable , barring those overly emphatic lights . sal zaccaro ' s staging is nimble enough , right down to each scene ' s feeble fade - out . the ever - attractive and svelte kate hurd gives an enormously appealing performance in the chi - chi part of the doctor ' s wife and don frame humanizes the dreary doctor . although frank brescia , carrie ' s no - account husband , who could be a vaguely amusing character , and allen mcrae as the meddlesome owner of the house ( who finally suggests a lottery to determine who should pair off with whom ) are ineffectual , there is a considerable amount of believable acting here , considering the unbelievability of mrs . kerr ' s premise and people .

in stoker ' s novel and earlier vampire lore , sunlight did not cause vampires to go up like flash paper . several times in the novel , dracula appears in broad daylight with no ill effects . he is simply incapable of using at least some of his vampiric powers during the daylight ( he cannot change form except at dawn , noon and dusk , but still seems to be able to charm wolves to some degree ) . sunlight causing a vampire to suffer pain and damage , glitter , smolder , or go up like a one man pyrotechnic band was pretty much wholly created by the movies , and specifically , by f . w . murnau in nosferatu , the first film to use this idea and probably its inventor .

wooden stake through the heart . in most modern depictions , this is fatal ; in the original folklore , it merely stops the vampire from leaving his coffin . in most of the older stories , one had to use a hammer or a gravedigger ' s shovel to drive the stake in , which meant that vampire stakings mainly happened during the day when the vampire was asleep , but recently , it ' s become oddly easy to do by hand . remember , the ribs are there to prevent just such an occurrence . in some cases , a special specimen of wood is needed for the stake to be effective , commonly hawthorn , and occasionally it needs to be blessed or enchanted , but not all vampires are this picky about what goes through their chests .

it is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness , silence , and solitude . i found it in the glare of mid - afternoon , in the clangour of a metropolis , and in the teeming midst of a shabby and commonplace rooming - house with a prosaic landlady and two stalwart men by my side .

2004 saw a slew of minor entries in the subgenre , the most notable of which was suspect zero , a film concerning a detective ( aaron eckhart ) hunting for a serial killer of serial killers ( ben kingsley ) , whose latest target is child - murderer “suspect zero” . kingsley’s character , having previously participated in government experiments in telepathy , is now tormented by visions of serial killers committing murders , and it just so happens that eckhart himself is also a telepath ( cue groan ) . the film , in the vein of seven , shows a few disturbing flashes of dead children , along with the implication that they were raped and tortured before dying , but it’s so ridden with clichés that it all ends up feeling rather ho - hum . even the subject of child murder , it seems , can induce yawns when utilized in service of a subpar film .
