The Dresser (1983)
Country: GB
Technical: col 118m
Director: Peter Yates
Cast: Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay, Edward Fox
Synopsis:
A veteran stage actor prepares to make it through one more performance of King Lear, riven with self-doubt and nursed to a presentable state by his loyal dresser, Norman.
Review:
Ronald Harwood adapts his own play, based on his reminiscences of working in a similar capacity for Sir Donald Wolfit. It's a great two-hander, necessarily static for the cinema, but wonderfully acted by two old friends.
