This adaptation of Simon Gray`s BUTLEY was part of the American Film Theater series, conceived in the 1970s by producer Ely Landau and meant to be shown theatrically just like a play, with tickets sold in advance. Alan Bates stars as Ben Butley, a bitter and repressed English literature professor at a British university. Taking place during the course of one day in Butley`s office, the acerbic professor`s harsh exterior is torn down bit by bit as his world crumbles around him when he learns, nearly simultaneously, of his wife`s intent to divorce him, his live-in homosexual lover`s infidelities, and a hated colleague`s success. Grounded by by Mr. Bates` absolutely brilliant performance, BUTLEY is at once a very funny and tremendously moving film.
