Charlie Bubbles

Charlie Bubbles (Albert Finney), a wealthy British writer who is losing his ability to feel -- and therefore write -- returns to his hometown of Manchester. Despite his success, Charlie is restless and unhappy even when he visits the women in his life, including his mistress, Eliza (Liza Minnelli), and his estranged wife, Lottie (Billie Whitelaw). As Charlie floats around Manchester, it becomes clear that he is almost completely disconnected from his working-class roots.
