With his mental and physical condition deteriorating, selfless dresser Norman (Courtenay) struggles to ensure that the show – Sir’s 227th performance as King Lear – goes on.\n\nBased on the experiences of screenwriter Ronald Harwood (The Pianist), assistant to legendary Shakespearean actor Sir Donald Wolfit (90° in the Shade), The Dresser is a moving exploration of loyalty and unrequited love.\n\nINDICATOR LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES\n\nHigh Definition remaster\n\nOriginal mono audio\n\nInterview with actor Claire Harrison (2025)\n\nInterview with director of photography Kelvin Pike (2025)\n\nInterview with camera operator Dewi Humphreys (2025)\n\nInterview with sound mixer John Hayward (2025)\n\nInterviews with property master John Chisholm and property buyer Jill Quertier (2025)\n\nOriginal theatrical trailer\n\nImage gallery: publicity and promotional material\n\nNew English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\n\nLimited edition exclusive booklet with new essay by Thirza Wakefield, a selection of interviews with director Peter Yates and actors Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay charting the film’s production, an overview of critical responses, and film credits\n\nUK premiere on Blu-ray\n\nLimited edition of 3,000 copies for the UK\n\nAll features subject to change","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54273634337153,"sku":"2601459","price":20.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5060697924152_6810F5EA.png?v=1745943730","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/the-dresser-ltd-blu-ray","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
