Lovable frump Sister George is a huge TV soap star. But when the studio kills her off, butchy, pushy and loudly abusive actor June Buckeridge (Beryl Reid), who plays Sister George, goes spinning down the drain of miserable, raging alcoholic self-pity. Superbly acted, this film offers a cartoony but engrossing slice of 60’s lesbian life.

This is how it all started — the lesbian cable TV series that took the world by storm. Showtime took a chance that just maybe, if they put time and money into a series about gay women, it might have an audience. Obviously it paid off big time.
