Country: GB

Director: Stephen Frears
Cast: Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina, Vanessa Redgrave
Synopsis:
The stormy relationship between playwright Joe Orton and his intellectually superior mentor-cum-lover ends in the former's violent death.
Review:
Often hilarious, undeniably sordid in parts, the film has a mitigating humanity which betrays the magisterial hand of writer Alan Bennett, and the performances avoid stridency in what could have been another Staircase.
