Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/5 --
Drama com excelentes atuações (especialmente de Niven e Kerr), Vidas Separadas possui roteiro enxuto que extrai o máximo de sua galeria de personagens patéticos que buscam a dignidade.

Rating: 82/100 --
A touching and absorbing movie that (thankfully) doesn't wrap everything up with a big, dumb, happy ending.

How do you assemble a wonderful ensemble and then waste their talents? Here's an example.

Cinema Sight
Deborah Kerr, her beauty hidden under the mousy façade of a faded and timid spinster, proves again that she is one of the finest actresses on the international screen.

Rating: C --
The well-made play and once well-thought of film seems to be lifeless when viewed today.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 4/5 --
Very strong, controversial (for 1958) drama starring Hayworth, Kerr.

Rating: B --
Terence Rattigan's old-fashioned melodrama is well-acted by the entire ensemble. Surprisingly, it was nominated for Best Picture and garnered Oscars for David Nivel as a Major with fake identity and Wendy Hiller as the reserved hotel manager.

Product Description:
This film version of Terence Rattigan's 1955 West End hit features a stellar ensemble cast. The film follows the interplay of a group of lonely characters who are staying at a slightly shabby seaside hotel in Bournemouth. The term "separate tables" refers to the practice of seating single guests at their own tables in the dining room, and serves as a metaphor for the characters' fear of intimacy. Major Pollack (David Niven) is a retired officer who likes to wax eloquent about fanciful acts of heroism in WWII North Africa, and Sybil Railton-Bell (Deborah Kerr) is a repressed spinster boxed in by an oppressive mother (Gladys Cooper). John Malcolm (Burt Lancaster), a cynical, hard-drinking, occasional writer, is surprised by the sudden arrival of his ex-wife Ann (Rita Hayworth). Though Ann's legendary beauty is dimmed by age, Ann and John both reach tentatively for some human contact. SEPARATE TABLES, a work that now seems relatively tame, was controversial in its day for attempting to deal with sexual problems, however obliquely. The all-star cast is excellent, but it is the genius of Wendy Hiller, in a small part, that steals the show.
