- First TV production of Pinter's play broadcast in 1960 as part of ITV's Armchair Theatre season starring Tom Bell, Madge Ryan, Arthur Lowe and Vivien Merchant. (This is the complete video)
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 🤦♂
The unsurpassed performance from the magnificent Tom Bell.
Not too mention the wonderful Vivien Merchant.
to
and don't forget Pinter himself......😊
One of the greatest Pinter productions ever.
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
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.
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.
Thanks Keith. Love Pinter. Never seen this. Tom Bell's native scouse accent really comes out sometimes in that last scene :-)
Thank you.
glad to see Captain Mainwaring
Don’t tell him, Pinter.
Intense ❤
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.
Pinter does "mommie issues". What could go wrong?
This looks good, Thanks!
(Agh; SO-Glad not to have a ‘smothering’, jealous, manipulative, clingy Mother like this one!!!)
A quick synopsis would be appreciated!!

What does one call what is acted & shown as acting today 2023 ....????
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 !
As the child of an insecure, ultra possessive, domineering, manipulative mother, I'm very disappointed. Waste of a perfectly handy clock.
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.
