"As a matter of interest do you ever say thank you? " "I'm most grateful thank you so much you're too generous, most kind most kind I'm forever in your debt that sort of thing? Yes I must be grateful that you have all this. You're the one who should be grateful." Michael Caine to Helmut Berger in The Romantic Englishwoman |

The Romantic Englishwoman is a 1975 British film directed by Joseph Losey and starring Michael Caine, Glenda Jackson, Helmut Berger. It marks the feature-length screen debut for Kate Nelligan. The screenplay was written by Tom Stoppard and Thomas Wiseman.
Caine plays a successful English novelist whose discontented wife, played by Jackson, decides to take a holiday to Germany in order to "find herself". There she meets a mysterious young man, played by Berger, in an elevator, which initiates an often bizarre, but extremely mature examination of desire, responsibility and the nature of love.
The film was shown at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, but not entered into the main competition.
