Late Flowering Lust is a television film starring Nigel Hawthorne, Richenda Carey and Jonathan Cecil, based on the poetry of John Betjeman.

When Cousin John is invited to a pre-War weekend house party in Home Counties Betjeman land, he is taken aback by the beauty of the girls.

Rosemary Allen, Scott Ambler, Matthew Bourne, Ally Fitzpatrick, Maxine Fone, Andrew George, Etta Murfitt and Simon Murphy from Adventures in Motion Pictures portray the bright young things.

It was also Hawthorne's idea, along with his partner, Trevor Bentham, to ask Adventures in Motion Pictures to collaborate on the project and for Matthew Bourne to choreograph the film.

Jim Parker's music, originally composed for the albums Banana Blush, Late Flowering Love (both 1974) and Varsity Rag (1981),[4] was performed by the Nash Ensemble.
