CastAnthony Hopkins Debra Winger John Wood Edward Hardwicke
NotesBeautifully told story (true) of C.S. Lewis (The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe) who was a confirmed bachelor but fell in love late in his life with an American poet and divorcee who later dies from cancer. Hopkins and Winger are superb and so are the supporting cast. A very moving story both for the romance, the tragedy and the realisation by the donnish Lewis that all is not contained in his "theory of life".
