Product Description:
Great Britain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. LANGUAGES: English (Dolby Digital 2.0), SYNOPSIS: The Guest is a filmed adaptation of the Harold Pinter play of the same name. Donald Pleasence plays a laconic tramp, who is invited to stay in the home of Robert Shaw, on the implied promise that he, Pleasence, will be hired as caretaker. Shaw's off-in-the-coop brother Alan Bates is delighted to have Pleasence around...to "play" with. In the manner of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Shaw and Bates uses Pleasence as a punching bag for their own hang-ups. Photographed with the proper degree of claustrophobia by Nicolas Roeg, The Caretaker was independently produced by a celebrity consortium including Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Sellers, and Noel Coward. SPECIAL FEATURES: Cast/Crew Interview(s), Commentary, Interactive Menu, Making Of,

Shaw was an accomplished novelist, incidentally. ... Read More

A promising chamber work which explores the dark corners of the human soul. Think about; we are talking about Harold Pinter this true scalpel of the human psyche. As curious fact this work was financed by Noel Coward, Richard Burton. Elizabeth taylor, Peter Sellers and Leslie Caron. ... Read More
