Rent Home (1971)

Two irrepressible legends of the British stage lend elegance, wit and pathos to this touching and tender play about the fragility of mind and the strength of the human spirit. Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson are among the small congregation of ageing residents whiling away a breezy afternoon on the lawn of a home for the mentally frail in rural Britain. As the day's end nears, so too does the realisation that although the hopes and dreams these once agile minds harboured are now just illuminated memories, they are still as vibrant as they ever were.
