The Caretaker

£17.99

Released: 15th April 2019. Adaptation of the classic Harold Pinter play directed by Clive Donner. Aston (Robert Shaw) prevents homeless man Davies (Donald Pleasence) from being beaten up on the street and out of pity invites him to live in his run-down flat with his brother Mick (Alan Bates). As Davies confides in the two brothers he admits that he has been living under another name and talks about hoping to retrieve his papers to confirm his identity. However, as Mick questions him about his origins Davies becomes defensive and their exchanges become hostile. Aston and Mick are also at odds with one another and as the tensions increase and each man comes to distrust the other it becomes clear that their new living arrangements are far from ideal.
