- Synopsis:
Set in the rarefied world of West End boutique owners and fashion designers, 'The Collection' takes as its departure point the moment when four elegant lives are suddenly shaken by the suggestion of infidelity. The sinister anonymous phone call that disturbs Harry Kane at four o'clock in the morning, setting in motion the drama's events, also foreshadows the ominous deepening mystery in which the characters find themselves, and in which 'the truth' becomes increasingly hard to establish...Laurence Olivier stars in and co-produces 'The Collection', a darkly comic play of suspense and sexual jealousy by Nobel Prize-winning playwright, author and director Harold Pinter. Also featuring the talents of Helen Mirren, Alan Bates and Malcolm McDowell, with direction by the multi-award winning Michael Apted (7Up, Enigma), this adaptation was originally screened in 1976 as part of the celebrated Granada series 'Laurence Olivier Presents', and earned Apted a Directors Guild of America nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement. - Actors:
