Set during the Great Depression, this adaptation of Sumner Locke Elliott's classic novel chronicles the emotional custody battle over a six-year-old boy.
Wendy Hughes won an AFI Award for her performance as the boy's wealthy anglophile aunt and it is this role more than any other that personifies Hughes' screen presence: elegant, removed and coolly erotic.
A scene in which her sexually repressed character falls emotionally apart during a thunderstorm, taking solace in the arms of her six-year-old charge, is one of the film's - and Hughes' - most memorable moments.
Wendy Hughes will introduce the screening on Thursday 23 April.
