Canterbury Tales

The Wife of Bath

Beth Craddock is a highly successful television actress in her early fifties but her professional success is not reflected in her private life. She has had four husbands and the fourth is about to leave her for a younger woman. She begins an affair with co-star Jerome, who is 30 years her junior and, despite general disapproval, they're genuinely happy. Unfortunately, Jerome's health issues mean that the story does not end well for Beth.
