A Rather English Marriage - 1998 - 6/10

Squadron leader Conyngham-Jervis and milkman Southgate visit dying wives in the hospital.
Afterward, Social Services suggest the widowers move in together for companionship.
From there, this becomes a study of characters.
While everyone is excellent, Albert Finney is horribly terrific.
His character, who insists on everyone calling him squadron leader, is insufferable.
Vain, pompous, reveling in the bygone days of youth, battles and conquests.
One of the audience members equated him with Mister Toad. Quite apt.
