First and foremost is that when I was in college majoring in Theater Arts, I played the part of Teddy in a production of The Homecoming. The film version of that play is a bit depressing, but in the stage version the ironic twists and humor can be played up with the right actors playing all the major parts. Pinter as you may or may not know was married at one time to Vivien Merchant who of course was featured in movie version of The Homecoming. Pinter in addition to writing some memorable stage pieces, also wrote several other movie scripts for films that I am also fond of... namely The French Lieutenant's Woman, the remake of Sleuth and of course Elia Kazan's The Last Tycoon. I wish he had a more prolific career in films but sadly that was not the case....
