Harold Pinter - The Dumb Waiter (BBC, 23rd July 1985) (re-broadcast 2002)

Details
VHS (Long Play) -> Samsung DVD-SH855M -> Xvid
Taken from Long-Playing VHS the quality is not perfect but still watchable

Summary:
with Kenneth Cranham and Colin Blakely
Directed by Kenneth Ives
Duration 51mins Four: Saturday 2 November 10pm-10.50pm 2002

Minimal setting and cast naturally suit Pinter's sparse writing style, and he returns to the beloved two hander for what can best be described as a tense farce. Two assassins in the pay of a mystery organisation await their unknown victim, but the talk's the thing, and this time rather than characters lapsing into silence, the deadly duo of Ben and Gus lapse into absurdity. Portions of the play feel like a demo for The Birthday Party, but there is a wonderful air of Tarantino about the concept of hit men bantering complete nonsense. As a dark cloud gradually envelopes the pair, for reasons even they don't seem to understand, the "comedy of menace" fades out leaving us bewildered but haunted by the ghosts of the possibilities the play only hints at, never reveals.
