In case anyone wondered what became of them, Arthur runs a dance studio out in Spain and the Match Girl is now an executive assistant at Bloomsbury.
The new one with rue mcclannan was ok but they had to mess it up trying to soothe the hollywood race issue i feel.
My mum watched this movie all the time as a kid as it was the only vhs she owned and then when I was a kid she found a dvd and we used to watch it together all the time now I come back and watch it on here all the time. One of my all time favourites. Always has me balling at the end.
I never really understand these plays. People ignore each other and don’t answer questions bur instead ask a question about something totally different. It isn’t realistic.
As the child of an insecure, ultra possessive, domineering, manipulative mother, I'm very disappointed. Waste of a perfectly handy clock.
Can you upload the 2nd part of this demo?
Just beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
no CC cannot watch. Hearing impaired
This is the saddest movie I've watched after Hatchiko😢😢😢
What does one call what is acted & shown as acting today 2023 ....????
Wait a minute, New Dream Match Girl Character; Danish Accent, Ugly Christmas Sweater, Long Undies, Bag, Basket, Snow Boots, Snow Suit, Belt with Pouch, Scarf, Hat, Mittens, Trousers, Socks, Match Boxes, Fundraising Cup, Angel Wings, Angel Sleeves, Halo, and Cross.
Pure excellence (what else can you expect,you can expect no less)from the legendary Harold Pinter. fabulous as usual,Tom Bell ,his character’s mind disintegrating right in front of us!.I never realised Tom was quite so good looking and dashing when he was a young man!.My favourite part was in the working girl’s room. The acting between Tom and the girl (Viviene Merchant) was superb.Real chemistry.And when he came home and his mother was nagging on at him and he was blowing into his hands and hyperventilating and he picked up the clock . I thought at first he was going to kill her!(clock her one!)Genius acting!.They just don’t make plays and films like these anymore and small wonder as Pinter was one of a kind.Talent like this doesn’t come around often.Spellbinding theatre at it’s best.I just love Tom Bell, that actor is brilliant in everything he’s ever been in. I absolutely loved him in’Wish You Where Here’.I’m now on a Harold Pinter quest.And watching some of his other plays on RUclips.Everything else seems to pale in comparison after watching something like this. Thanks for the pleasure of letting me have the chance to see this. X
As you probably know, Vivien Merchant was married to Harold Pinter at the time this film was made.
I've never saw this in my life
I loved the film The little match girl. I am sad that they don't show it on T.V at Christmas it would let the children of today realise how lucky they are.
I wish I could find this on DVD in the US. We had the VHS in the 90s and I watched it every Christmas season.

Intense ❤
Its great you have this up cause me and my family really wanted to match it
more like a "normal" play than most of Pinter's.Arthur Lowe is never any different. Is there any footage of him with hair?
I can't remember seeing him with hair John...just had a quick look at 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' (1949) where he makes a brief appearance at the end as a reporter - but he comes on in a bowler hat !
Am I the only one who sees the queer code? I love Pinter. The Mother knows her Son is gay and she worries that it's because his Father was not there to raise him. Thats how they thought people became queer back then. I am non-binary and pansexual. I see the underlying tone. Its about depression and being closeted, feelings I am well aware of. The handkerchief reference really sent me. LOL.
I think your reading of this play is spot-on.
Can anyone see that her dad stole her profit just to go out wasting it at the pub.
Afraid not
dang. I'll keep hunting!
have you got the full episode? I can't find it anywhere!
If you ever find it, please let me know but I've been hunting it for a while!
A quick synopsis would be appreciated!!

R.I.P. Matthew. Thank you for uploading this Keith, you and your son made a masterpiece in those 8 days. (I'm not quite sure what he said first there, he thought the US version went on too long and became indecent?)
slovenly rat man
All hypnotists are dangerous. Therefore so is Paul mckenna
I still have this on VHS, my favourite music from a musical ever. I would of loved it if they made this longer but I love it nonetheless lol. ❤
I havent seen this in years ❤
My nan owned this on VHS and I remember watching it as a child. We lost her back in April and I’ve wanted to watch this for so long I think I will tonight but I know I’m going to need tissues
This looks good, Thanks! (Agh; SO-Glad not to have a ‘smothering’, jealous, manipulative, clingy Mother like this one!!!)
That rules out lemmy from motorhead then....
Unusual play but what a great performance from Tom Bell, especially loved his performance in the L shaped room, along with Leslie Caron, Pat Pheonix, Ciceley Courtneidge, Brock Peters, its a great watch.
Thank you for this one. Harold Pinter in top form, as is the acting and everything about this wonderful play A great addition to a great site.
Pinter does "mommie issues". What could go wrong?
Thank you.
The great Tom Bell one of the greatest actors of his generation, up there with Olivier, Brando et al, his career somewhat "curtailed" by jokingly inquiring of Prince Philip at a function if would tell the gathering a joke. Sadly he paid a price, as maybe be we all did for such gross impudence.
LOL how did anyone believe this
There was nothing fake about this I promise you. I sat in a theatre audience at the Dominion before we did the show and was staggered by it all. People ran at the stage to be hypnotised and they truly were
The unsurpassed performance from the magnificent Tom Bell. Not too mention the wonderful Vivien Merchant.
to
and don't forget Pinter himself......😊
glad to see Captain Mainwaring
Don’t tell him, Pinter.

An excellent Harold Pinter play and a rare acting appearance from him. Thanks for sharing. This kind of quality is long gone from British TV, unfortunately.
Yes, everything was better in the past 🤦♂
One of the greatest Pinter productions ever.
Wow!!!! In all of my 35years, Today I learnt the little match girl died at the end. I’m heartbroken. I used to think she was asleep on her mum and her dad was shouting noOooo because they were out in the cold 🙈 (innocent minds hey)
Theres only one version i know in which she survives the night, but she becomes corrupted instead and always hangs out with the puss in boots.
Wait...what? I read the original tale as a child, so I knew she died, but you didn't know?
Twiggy smashed this 💥 and so did the little match girl. Such a talent and amazing voices 🙏🏽❤️
Arthur was my crush 😻 😂
He has a youtube channel, owns a dance studio out in Spain or something. He's still as charismatic as ever. The little match girl is now an executive assistant at Bloomsbury.
Childhood memories 🥰 2022 anyone? It’s Nov. 2022 and I’m here singing all the songs @ 2am 😅 God bless the little match girl 😇👑
It's 4:53am and I'm jamming 😁
Thanks Keith. Love Pinter. Never seen this. Tom Bell's native scouse accent really comes out sometimes in that last scene :-)
👩🏻🦰🔥
