The Caretaker

The Caretaker was the play that made Harold Pinter's name when it was first performed at the Arts Theatre, London in 1960, and it remains probably his most famous. Two years later, Clive Donner's film version began shooting, after producer Michael Birkett had raised the finance from such figures as Noel Coward, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Sellers, Peter Hall and Leslie Caron - all passionate admirers of the play. Original cast members - Donald Pleasence and Alan Bates - are joined by Robert Shaw as Aston, allowing us to see on film three of the greatest interpretations of Pinter's characters. Donner's sensitive film combines mesmerising performances and the magic of Pinter's dialogue into a spellbinding film.
