The Bed Sitting Room
Good ol Spike

There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in
But they're ever so small
That's why rain is thin

Petulia is a really great film.
That's what everyone told me, but aside from the editing which is equal parts interesting and distracting I found the central story pretty underwhelming.

It does fascinating things with the Breakfast at Tiffany's manic pixie dream girl storyline, making it at once more realistic and more 1960s crazy.  It's heart-breaking.
