Dustin Hoffman directs this comedy drama adapted from the stage play. Beecham House is a retirement home catering for former artistes including one-time opera singers Cissy (Pauline Collins), Reginald (Tom Courtenay) and Wilf (Billy Connolly). The three still take part in an annual concert to celebrate the birthday of composer Verdi. This year things are complicated by the arrival of the fourth member of their quartet, Reginald’s Diva ex-wife Jean (Maggie Smith). Inevitably theatrical temperaments and old hostilities start to flare up. (98 mins)
