Equus

Equus , Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award®-winning play (which he adapted for the film) is brought to life on the screen by director Sidney Lumet ( Dog Day Afternoon ) and a cast that includes Richard Burton ( Alexander the Great ) and Peter Firth ( Joseph Andrews ) as psychiatrist and patient in a disturbing tale of a mysterious and unfathomable crime. Joan Plowright ( 101 Dalmatians ), Colin Blakely ( The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes ), Jenny Agutter ( Logan’s Run ), Eileen Atkins (TV’s The Crown ) and Harry Andrews ( Alexander the Great ) turn in bravura supporting performances in a film photographed by Oswald Morris ( Fiddler on the Roof ) with a score by Richard Rodney Bennett ( on the Orient Express ). Production Year: 1977 Video: Color Run Time: 138 Minutes Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 Sound: Mono Subtitles: Optional English Stars: Richard Burton, Peter Firth, Colin Blakely, Joan Plowright, Harry Andrews, Eileen Atkins, Jenny Agutter Director: Sidney Lumet Awards: Three Oscar® Nominations* Critical Reviews This Oscar®-nominated* adaptation of Peter Shaffer's Tony Award®-winning play erupts on the screen with the same power and pion as the stage original. Richard Burton gives "one of his best performances ever" ( Boxoffice ) in this "elegant and provocative" ( Newsweek ) tale of myth and madness. What would drive Alan Stang (Peter Firth), a troubled adolescent stable boy, to blind six horses with a metal spike? Psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Burton) investigates these unspeakable acts and delves deep into Alan's psyche, confronting the mysteries of sexual pion and madness - as well as the dark demons buried within his own soul. * 1977: Best Actor (Richard Burton), Best Supporting Actor (Peter Firth), Best Adapted Screenplay
