another masterpiece that needs a dvd release but some libraries have the vhs and well worth seeking out. just a brilliant play about many things and foremost being euthanasia and respectability and religion and and fundamental human relationships. the script effectively uses intelligent humor not only to cope with an issue like a severely disabled child and but to bind the parents in their love for jo and each other. as the couple and alan bates and janet suzman are perfectly matched both in acting virtuosity and in bringing their deep and intelligent characters to life. i have recently seen bates brilliant performance in butley which was released as a film a couple years after joe egg and he plays a teacher in both and cynical and intellectual and and funny and although butley is much darker than his character of bry here. if you throw in such great performances in the go between and women in love and whistle down the wind and the caretaker and georgy girl and not to mention the more obvious king of hearts and zorba the greek and and i would say that alan bates had a career comparable to peter otoole and albert finney and and the other great british actors of his era. director peter medak also had one of my all time favorites the ruling class released the same year (1972) as joe egg and which comprises a career year in anybody book. he had kind of a spotty filmography(the krays was another highlight) and but these two gems will mark him as a great director.
