The L-Shaped Room Only Two Can Play

Sex and class come into play in these quirky comedies starring Leslie Caron and Peter Sellers respectively.

The L-Shaped Room features Leslie Caron as a small-time waitress who finds herself pregnant, unmarried, and trapped in a flat in London. There she's comforted by such neighbors as a West Indian jazz musician and a cat-loving lesbian. (Bryan Forbes, 1963; 125 mins.)

Peter Sellers delivers a brilliant comic performance as a librarian pursuing an unattainable woman (Mai Zetterling) in Only Two Can Play, based on a Kingsley Amis novel. (Sidney Gilliat, 1962; 106 mins.)
