No Love for Johnnie

Drama, Velká Británie, 1961, 110 min.



Reelected to the House of Commons, Labour Party member Johnnie Byrne suffers two simultaneous setbacks: he fails to receive a Cabinet post, and his wife, Alice, a militant Communist, leaves him. The professional failure especially disturbs Johnnie and he is easily persuaded to join a left-wing splinter group bent on harassing the prime minister. One evening Johnnie's upstairs neighbor, Mary, who is in love with him, takes him to a party where he meets model Pauline West. After a few dates with Pauline, Johnnie is so desperately in love with her that he fails to appear in Parliament on the day he is scheduled to ask a crucial question to discredit the government. Pauline, however, decides that marrying a man twice her age is too great a risk, and she leaves London. In addition, Johnnie is summoned to a meeting of his constituents who bitterly attack him for his neglect. Failing to win back Pauline, Johnnie receives a surprise visit from his wife, who suggests they try again to achieve a successful marriage. Johnnie is inclined to accept her offer, but when the prime minister offers him a Cabinet post with the stipulation that he remain apart from his Communist wife, Johnnie decides against the reconciliation. Alone and without love or friends, he occupies one of the front seats reserved for Cabinet members.
