At its heart this is a Tv play but a very good one about a struggling actor. Well, I mean it's about a struggling actor which isn't that interesting but it does capture the life - the humiliation, boozing, jealousy, waiting, rejection, camaraderie, loneliness, compromises.
He has a successful friend (Edmund Purdom!), a fuck buddy (Billie Whitelaw), a young woman (Angela Douglas) who sleeps with him but then goes for his agent (Denis Price), an old colleague (Cecil Parker),
There's a party where two blokes dance - that's quite striking. (They're all listening to Chubby Checker).
