Butley (1974)

However realistic, Alan Bates' one-man one-room show as snide academic doesn't make a movie.

When wit and character still counted, and actors still possessed the depth to pull it off. An amazing project, the American Film Theater, imagine seeking investors among regular folks to bring theater works into a shitty new medium. A shame more weren't created.

Alan Bates' stage triumph in Simon Gray's Butley has been superbly recreated on the screen, with the added excellence of Harold Pinter's topnotch film directorial debut.

We don't pity [Butley], even though we should. He somehow doggedly weathers each crisis, and we even feel a sneaky affection for him. Maybe that's the way the role is written, or maybe it's because of the double-reverse charm Bates brings to it.
