L'homme que je suis

1975 77 min 36 vues

Multi primée, cette adaptation de l'autobiographie à succès de Quentin Crisp, The Naked Civil Servant, présente un homme luttant pour vivre un style de vie ouvertement gay et flamboyant à une époque où l'homosexualité était illégale en Grande-Bretagne. Son comportement extravagant a choqué la société britannique intolérante d'avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et a provoqué de fréquentes attaques homophobes, mais Crisp a catégoriquement refusé de faire des compromis et est devenu une célébrité culte et une icône gay internationale. Drôle, tragique et parfois réconfortante, cette histoire sans faille d’un homme non conventionnel, fortement mise en scène par Jack Gold, est devenue un classique instantané de la TV britannique.

Hannay

1989 min 1 vues

Hannay was a 1988 spin-off from the 1978 film version of John Buchan's novel The Thirty-Nine Steps which had starred Robert Powell as Richard Hannay. In the series, Powell reprised the role of Hannay, an Edwardian mining engineer from Rhodesia of Scottish origin. It features his adventures in pre-World War I Great Britain. These stories had little in common with John Buchan's novels about the character, although some character names are taken from his other novels. There were two series, the first with six episodes, the second with seven. The combined 13 episodes ran for a total of 652 minutes. One episode, A Point of Honour, was based on a story of the same name by Dornford Yates that appeared in his 1914 book The Brother of Daphne, although Yates was not credited. Another episode used a plot device from the Leslie Charteris Saint story The Unblemished Bootlegger, from the 1933 book The Brighter Buccaneer, again uncredited.
