The Caretaker - 1963 - Clive Donner



A Harold Pinter screenplay.

A well-dressed man helps a homeless man and goes so far as to invite him to stay at his house. The well-dressed guy seems a bit peculiar, not especially warm or sympathetic even though he engages in a selfless gesture. About half way through the film some of the ambiguity concerning the character of the well-dressed guy is resolved. But there are many other bizarre aspects of the film that may leave you scratching your head.

As a side note, all of the actors in the film participated without pay, as did the director, since funding such an out of the ordinary film became difficult.
