Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A gem of a movie!

This is a movie centred around a marvellous story.

David Niven plays a 'fake' Major. This is because he hides a secret past which is about to become public knowledge at a small Hotel where he has been staying some time. He is 'sweet' on a 'spinster-ish' woman (Deborah Kerr) who's dominated by her possessive mother (Gladys Cooper) There are other stories within this picture, but the story between 'The Major' and 'Sybil' is by far the most touching and absorbing. There are some wonderful scenes in this, and David Niven gives an outstanding performance and gets much sympathy from the Viewer.

This film not only shows how cruel and judgmental people can be, but how the best can be brought out after their ... Read More:


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - An Uninteresting Star-Studded Movie
This is Terrence Rattigan's character study of five individuals staying at a resort British town of Bournemouth. The setting of this motel is a symbol of a refuge for these five desperate characters trying to make their lives better, and staying out of troubles. The movie, directed by Delbert Mann, casts some of the best actors in Hollywood. David Niven won an Oscar award for his role as a retired Major (Angus Pollack). Mann is known for great comedic movies such as, Lover Come Back, and That Touch of Mink. His modest directorial role in this film is insufficient to make this movie interesting.

Ann Shankland (Rita Hayworth), a former model comes in search of her ex-husband John Malcolm (Burt Lancaster), who is currently engaged ... Read More:


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Worth the small price
A wonderful period piece and a confirmation that a good story and interesting characters make a film more than special effects and fancy computer work.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful museum piece from the fifties.,
Produced in 1958 by Harold Hecht and directed by Delbert Mann, Separate Tables takes place at the tiny Beauregard Hotel, a seaside resort on England's south coast, which serves in the winter as "a refuge for the lonely, resigned, and desperate." The main feature of the hotel is its separate tables, rather than "family style" dining, for the guests. The cast is a who's who of fifties stars--David Niven (who won an Oscar for his role), Deborah Kerr, Bert Lancaster, Rita Hayworth, and Wendy Hiller (who also won an Oscar)--all playing characters who live as separated from the world as their tables are in the dining room.

The Major (Niven) sets the action in motion when he is reported in the local newspaper as having been guilty of "insulting ... Read More:


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Everyone staying at this Hotel has a secret.
Meet the guests at this hotel. Learn about their desires, secrets and hopes for the future. Each one has a tale to tell each one is desperate.
