Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival, Middle of the Night tells the story of a scandalous love affair between a 24-year old divorcee (Kim Novak) and 56-year old widower (Fredric March). Jerry Kingsley is a wealthy garment manufacturer left lonely in his 60s when his wife dies. Despite the difference in their ages, he strikes up a romance with divorced 24-year-old receptionist Betty. The relationship is dismissed by his daughter, discouraged by his sister, and denounced by Betty’s mother. (Via Vision Entertainment)
