The L-Shaped Room (1962)
Jane is young, French, pregnant and unmarried. Bucking convention, she is uninterested in settling with her baby's father or getting an abortion. After renting a room in a dingy London boarding house, Jane befriends the odd group of inhabitants and starts an affair with one boarder, Toby. As Jane's pregnancy threatens her new relationship, and the reality of single motherhood approaches, she is forced to decide what to do about both her baby and her budding romance.
🏳️🌈 Bryan Forbes's British New Wave drama stars Leslie Caron, explicitly incorporating a prominent sáfic element through a neighbor character named Mavis (Cicely Courtneidge), who is revealed to be a lesbian.
