Staircase

Daring-for-its-day comedy-drama casts Richard Burton and Rex Harrison as aging, gay London hairdressers whose decades-long union just might have reached its breaking point, between Harrison's serial infidelities and Burton's being left to have to deal with infirm mother Cathleen Nesbitt. Beatrix Lehmann, Stephen Lewis co-star under Stanley Donen's direction; score by Dudley Moore. 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
