Alan Bennett's screenplay is FANTASTIC. I particularly love the echoes. Wishes & predictions that actually come true & play out as real life 10 years later. Real life conversations that end of being replayed on stage. Kenneth telling Joe his life story, which then ends up being retold by Joe as his own. Peggy Ramsay's voiceover in the future showing up as real life past 5 minutes later. Life imitates art imitates life.
There was something repulsive about Halliwell - the grand manner, the pretensions, the snobbery and the propriotorial way he treated Orton in the early part of the relationship. You wonder why they didn't split up in 1963 when they left prison. I doubt at that point Halliwell would have committed suicide, still less murdered Orton. It was like they spent the rest of their lives in the same cell.

1:02:11 All Gary Oldman had to do was that smile....and I fell madly in love with him ♥️😍
My friend's flat was used in the film, St Peter's Street, Islington. Look for the scene at 1:16:22.
Shout out to Stanley Myers for that plangent score that laces the film with tragedy throughout.
1:25:36 "These boys do not take drugs, never have taken drugs, never will take drugs" 🤣🤣
