Watching this exquisitely funny and painfully true parade of suburban nightmares, I realised that I had met at least six 'Beverleys'. I had encountered the same pretentious, insensitive, overbearing, condescending and brutish mannerisms. Alison Steadman embodies the lot; an eyeball-searing vision in orange nylon with a voice that can scape wax out of your inner ear! For much of the play, I laughed at Beverley's indulgent glee in 'welcoming' her guests and hectoring her husband. For the last twenty minutes, I was holding my hands to my face and muttering 'God, no! God, please no!' at every ghastly verbal brickbat and physical impasse. It makes me wonder if Ricky Gervais and his 'Office' crew had this on a loop. David Brent's manners ... Read More:

3.Prick Up Your Ears [1987] starring: Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina, Vanessa Redgrave, Frances Barber, Janet Dale directed by: Stephen Frears October 10, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.49
This is a great film that is really best seen on the big screen. It was a revelation to see it recently in the cinema since you can see all the detail of the collage in the Noel Road flat plus you realise how much of the sex scenes have been cut from the DVD version. I would say the DVD is a good 10 minutes shorter than the cinema version. Both are still mono too which is a shame since the song "By the sea!" which they sing as they run on the beach in Tangier with all the Moroccan boys would have benefitted by being in glorious stereo. That said this is still an outstanding study of one man on the up (Orton) and another on the down (Halliwell). We only see Halliwell after he meets Orton so we see nothing of his early life during WW2, his acting ... Read More:
