Walters is Rita, a working-class woman seeking the path to self-discovery. Bored with her life as a hairdresser, and under pressure from her husband to start a family, she enrolls in literature tutorials at a British university determined to better herself. Caine is Frank Bryant, the disillusioned English professor who is assigned to teach her. While Frank watches Rita embark on a radical transformation, his own life takes on a different kind of transformation as he finds himself falling in love with Rita while sinking into the depths of his alcoholism.

Julie Walters und Michael Caine spielen toll. Ach ja, warum werden heutzutage solche Filme nicht mehr gedreht?__PS: Ich muss gleich nachschauen, wer im Jahr 1983 die Oscars abgestaubt hat. Es ist doch nicht möglich, dass der schäbige Professor und die junge kreischende "Studentin" leer ausgegangen sind.__PPS: Aha – Ben Kingsley und Meryl Streep.

He's an aging, burned-out English literature teacher who spends most of his time taking strolls with Johnnie Walker. She's a chatty young hairdresser from simple circumstances who'd like to change her life from the ground up. Together, the two make up one of the most unconventional (and likable) couples. Their spark is so intense that one fears that all the books around them will catch fire… The kind of lovely, melancholy movie that (unfortunately) is no longer made.
