===Television=== Miles starred in some TV movies: ''[[Great Expectations (1974 film)|Great Expectations]]'' (1974), ''[[Requiem for a Nun]]'' (1975), and ''[[Dynasty (1976 film)|Dynasty]]'' (1976) as well as the Spanish film ''[[Bride to Be (film)|Bride to Be]]'' (1975). Her performance as Anne Osborne in ''[[The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea (film)|The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea]]'' (1976) was nominated for a [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actress β Motion Picture Drama|Golden Globe]]. Miles appeared in ''[[The Big Sleep (1978 film)|The Big Sleep]]'' (1978), ''[[Venom (1981 film)|Venom]]'' (1981), ''[[Walter and June]]'' (1983), ''[[Ordeal by Innocence (film)|Ordeal by Innocence]]'' (1984), ''[[Steaming (film)|Steaming]]'' (1985), ''[[Harem (1986 film)|Harem]]'' (1986) and ''[[Queenie (miniseries)|Queenie]]'' (1987). She received great acclaim for ''Hope and Glory''. Interviewer [[Lynn Barber]] wrote of Miles' appearances in ''[[Hope and Glory (film)|Hope and Glory]]'', ''[[White Mischief (film)|White Mischief]]'', and her two earliest films that she "has that Vanessa Redgrave quality of seeming to have one skin fewer than normal people, so that the emotion comes over unmuffled and bare."<ref name="Barber"/> Filming ''White Mischief'' on location in [[Kenya]] in 1987, Miles worked for the second and last time with [[Trevor Howard]], who had a supporting role, but was by then seriously ill from alcoholism. The company wanted to fire him, but Miles was determined that Howard's distinguished film career would not end that way. In an interview with Terence Pettigrew for his biography of Howard, she describes how she gave an ultimatum to the executives, threatening to quit the production if they got rid of him. The gamble worked. Howard was kept on. It was his last major film; he died the following January.
