Possibly the best of the universally excellent films produced by the American Film Theatre, producer Ely Landau's program that allowed moviegoers to subscribe to film versions of classic plays, Peter Hall's THE HOMECOMING is a magnificent adaptation of Harold Pinter's play. In it, a successful philosophy professor named Teddy (Jayston) braces himself to return to his North London home for the first time in nine years to introduce his wife Ruth (Merchant) to his family. Unfortunately, this family consists of an assortment of abusives and miscreants that make the atmosphere very uncomfortable for Teddy and turns his wife into the catalyst for a multitude of conflicts.

4/4

The Homecoming might be simple in its staging, but in a final tally, it overcomes its lack of cinematic device through its perceptiveness and stellar ensemble acting.
