I've watched Butley over a dozen times lately (sometimes just background noise) because of what an air-tight script it is, tour-de-force acting by all, (Jessica Tandy is magnetic!) and clever commentary on relationships of all kinds. Alan Bates is an amazing actor and I'm trying to track down as many of his perfomances as I can.
Just saw Pinter's "The Collection" with Lawrence Olivier, Helen Mirren, Alan Bates, and Malcolm McDowell, produced for BBC sometime ago. Just fantastic! On RUclips.
One of the great actors of stage and screen.
You would never guess that this was just 9 months before he died.
WOW/////What an Actor!
Discovered Richard O'Callaghan on OUT OF THE UNKNOWN - Just brilliant!

1:55 I have to disagree.
I think O'Callaghan has been poor in everything I've seen him do, including Butley.
