Additional InformationA cantankerous retiree discovers an untapped gift while wrestling with the impending death of his beloved wife in this inspirational musical drama from director Paul Andrew Williams. Arthur (Terence Stamp) has shared a fruitful and enduring marriage with his wife Marion (Vanessa Redgrave) when he receives the devastating news that their days together are numbered. But while Marion's condition might be terminal, she chooses to take the diagnosis in stride, doing her best to cherish what remaining time she has with her husband. Meanwhile, Arthur's already dour attitude grows increasingly grim with each passing day. When the senior's choir that Marion sings in shows up at their window one stormy morning to serenade them with Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," Arthur completely loses his cool and snaps at the well-intentioned crooners. His outlook worsens right alongside Marion's health, but when she asks him to be her substitute in the choir, he agrees in an attempt to make her smile. Little does Arthur realize that choir director Elizabeth (Gemma Arterton) favors teaching the group such nontraditional tunes as Mot÷rhead's "Ace of Spades" rather than the tired glee-club standards. In time, something remarkable happens -- Arthur finds his voice and remembers how it feels to truly be alive in the moment.
ReviewsTotal Film - YouÆll be hard-pressed not to shed a tear or two by the end., Filmoria - SONG FOR MARION is a welcomed, affectionate and generally uplifting film which will stay in the heart and memory long after you leave the theatre.

  • Very good, as you can see your own words in the title if you want.

    One of my fav. videos. People might be put off by the subject, I can relate to it but can be emotional as can bring back those dark days. Great performance from Terence Stamp and song at end will bring a few tears. Recommend this film.

  • Song For Marion Strikes a True Cord

    An excellent film, which paints a very real and touching portrait of family relationships and loss. It has a feel of real life to it, and it manages to paint a magnificent picture of an ordinary and flawed man dealing with his wifes impending death and subsequent loss without becoming gushy and tear jerking. The relationship with his son is also wonderfully portrayed. It is a film for mature thinkers, and the characters are all too real. You may find aspects of yourself or others shinning out at you from the film. I can't praise it highly enough personally, a Stirling cast shines with a fabulously simple script.
