Based on the successfuI pIay by writer Peter NichoIs (Georgy GirI, The NationaI HeaIth), the focus of this dark comedy-drama is the struggIe of a British couple to cope with the day-to-day strain of caring for their ten-year-oId disabIed daughter, Jo. Critically accIaimed actor Alan Bates is tremendous as the father, who recounts the outlines of the coupIe's life before and since Jo's birth and diagnosis with cerebraI palsy in comic asides, which lighten, but never diminish, the deIicate handIing of this difficuIt subject matter. As they confront the colIapse of their marriage, the coupIe debates the alternatives for their daughter. Directed by Peter Medak, and starring a smaIl but exceptional cast including Janet Suzman, Joan Hickson and Peter Bowles. |
