=========================
Tonight's movie, from Wikipedia: Simon and Laura is a 1955 British comedy film directed by Muriel Box and starring Peter Finch (in his first starring role in a British film) and Kay Kendall. Based on the play of the same name by Alan Melville.
Satirising the early days of BBC Television, Simon and Laura focuses on an argumentative theatrical couple called Simon and Laura Foster; they've been together for some 20 years and are given a new lease of life when playing a faux-harmonious version of "themselves" in a daily soap opera filmed in their own home.
