John Mortimer drew inspiration from his own life to create a portrait of a difficult yet enduring love between a father and son in mid-twentieth century Britain. The film stars Sir Laurence Olivier as a stubborn and cantankerous blind barrister, and Sir Alan Bates as his devoted son who longs to become a writer.
