Additional InformationTHE DRESSER is Peter Yates' intriguing look behind the scenes of a touring stage company in war-torn England, based on Ronald Harwood's play. Albert Finney stars as Sir, the ageing manager and lead actor of the troupe who begins to come undone from the pressure of touring in bombed-ravaged England. The lines between reality and drama begin to fade, leading Sir into melodramatic ramblings, soothed only by the aid of his devoted dresser, Norman (Tom Courtenay). Norman is part lover, brother, mother, and whipping boy to Sir's mercurial moods, coaxing the egocentric actor through the necessary dressing-room preparations as he readies himself for his 227th performance of KING LEAR. Norman is the backstage glue that binds the troupe of eccentric actors together, calming bruised egos and demanding respect for their ageing and slightly delusional leader. In true theatrical form the show must go on, as the bombs continue to fall Sir leads his troupe through another command performance of Shakespeare's tragedy. This beautifully filmed love letter to the theatre is a must for anyone who enjoys fine drama. The film features an outstanding ensemble cast, especially Tom Courtenay, who is a revelation as Norman, giving a deeply inspired and heartfelt performance.

The Finest of British Acting Talent Captured Forever
I used to have this fantastic film on VHS so when I was able to purchase on DVD at such a reasonable price I could not resist. How can a film fail when adapated from a great play and with such a first class cast Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay, Eileen Atkins, Zena Walker, Edward Fox. It is a role call of the best British actors. The period is captured to perfection. Cannot highly recommend enough.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Dresser is an unseen but vital component in any Stage production.
An original concept full of fine acting, where Albert Finney and Tom Courtney excel. The Station scene is priceless when Finney's imperious voice ''Stop that train" is unforgettable!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great acting with great story! What more could you want?!
One of the greatest British films based on a play that I have seen in many years. When it came out at the cinema, I saw it many times loving the dialogue and the great performances by Tom Courtney and the magnificent, Albert Finney. If you love great acting, an unusual story and hearing fabulous dialogue, you shouldn't go past this outstanding movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
