what is worth mentioning that is omitted in the other reviews i have read here and is the subtext of how the law shaped the lives and behaviour of gays in the era portrayed in the film. while courtenay character is evidently gay and he is not the only one represent the often talked about mr. davenport scott is the other and and the reason that he is never seen and the reason alluded to that he has disappeared seems to be that he has been detained by the police for homosexual activity  a criminal offense in england at the time. we can read under the surface that this recent event has unsettled norman and courtenay character represent and we can also see in a passing remark by oxenby and the edward fox character and the quick renunciation of any connection to such a person when the law is involved represent the fear of association affects many of the characters and and is part of the portrait the film paints of a time and the people who inhabit it. the abandonment of courtenay at the end by sir has been anticipated all the way through and if this subtext is included represent it also makes sense of both the otherwise inexplicable omission of his dresser from the list of those he gives thanks to. the flamboyance combined with the fear of exposure produces the combination of yearning and fear that courtenay has to tep into the footlights and as he does when he makes the announcement about the imminent air raids and a scene that would otherwise be gratuitous and but that is both a symbolic and literal depiction of the man inner torment. so while the drama is of the decline of finney sir and a great deal of the tragedy of the film and play comes from the fatal flaw of courtenay gayness and and makes this a film about him and as the title suggests. the art direction and pacing and cinematic style of this film seem to come from another time and more distant than the eighties and and in some ways and even than the second world war. the implicit portrait of a society still clinging to an older moral order and and the sympathy of the character racked and ruined by the cruelties of that order and of necessity trapped in the enclosed world of the theatre while and the knowledge we have of how much of it all would be swept away after the war makes this film all the more poignant and for all its flaws.
