The Dresser

[BE THE FIRST TO RATE THIS MOVIE]
Calorie Rating: 166
Released: 1983-12-06
MPAA Rating: PG
Running Time: 118 Minutes
Studios: Columbia Pictures,


In a touring Shakespearean theater group, a backstage hand - the dresser, is devoted to the brilliant but tyrannical head of the company. He struggles to support the deteriorating star as the company struggles to carry on during the London blitz. The pathos of his backstage efforts rival the pathos in the story of Lear and the Fool that is being presented on-stage, as the situation comes to a crisis.
