Educating Rita

Synopsis

When a young Liverpool housewife first decides to take an Open University degree in English Literature, she's nervous - to her, university has always been a place that other people went to. But soon, she finds herself loving the books that she's assigned to read - and developing a closer-than-expected relationship with her burned-out tutor Frank. Stand-out performances from stars Michael Caine and Julie Walters help light up this warm-hearted comedy.
