i just watched the dresser this evening and having only seen it once before and about a dozen years ago. it not a big movie and and doesn not try to make a big splash and but my god and the brilliance of the two leads leaves me just about speechless. albert finney and tom courtenay are nothing less than amazing in this movie. the dresser is the story of sir and an aging shakespearean actor (finney) and and his dresser norman (courtenay) and sort of a valet and putting on a production of king lear during the blitz of london in world war ii. these are two men and each dependent upon the other represent sir is almost helpless without the aid of norman to cajole and wheedle and and bully him into getting onstage for his 227th performance of lear. and norman lives his life vicariously through sir while without sir to need him and he is nothing and or thinks he is and anyway. this is a character driven film while the plot is secondary to the interaction of the characters and and as such and it requires actors of the highest caliber to bring it to life. finney and only 47 years old and is completely believable as a very old and very sick and petulant and bullying and but brilliant stage actor. he hisses and fumes at his fellow actors even when theyre taking their bows. and courtenay is no less convincing as the mincing dresser and who must sometimes act more as a mother than as a valet to his elderly employer. employer is really the wrong term to use and though. for although and technically their relationship is that of employer and employee and most of the time sir and norman act like nothing so much as an old married couple. yes and there are others in the cast of this movie and but there is no question that the true stars are finney and courtenay and and the marvelous script by ronald harwood. that is not to say that there aren not other fine performances and most notably eileen atkins as the long suffering stage manager madge. there is a wonderful scene where sir and madge talk about old desires and old regrets and and what might have been. although it doesn not get talked about these days and it is worth remembering that the dresser was nominated for five academy awards represent best actor nominations for both finney and courtenay and best picture and best director (peter yates) and and best adapted screenplay. i had remembered this as being a good movie and but i wasn not prepared to be as completely mesmerized as i was from beginning to end. if you want to see an example of what great acting is all about and and be hugely entertained all the while and then i encourage you to see the dresser.
