One of the masterstrokes of the film is the relationship between Eleanor and Theo. It is one of the first films to portray an LGBT character in a genuinely positive way, and Claire Bloom’s performance as Theo is key to this. Theo is hip, modern and smart, and her attraction to spinster Eleanor is handled in a mature and sensitive manner.
