Many regard 'The Singing Detective' as Dennis Potter's masterpiece, bringing together old and new themes in a dazzling and multi-layered mystery thriller Incapacitated both physically and emotionally and trapped in his hospital bed, detective novel writer Philip Marlow escapes into his imagination, plotting out a murder tale in which he is both a big-band singer and a private eye. As fantasy and reality merge into one, his excruciating pain plays with the memories of a tormented childhood and sexual treachery in a tortuous session of self-analysis and personal discovery.
Starring Michael Gambon; Patrick Malahide; Joanne Whalley-Kilmer; and Janet Suzman.
Directed by Jon Amiel.
