CGiii Comment
Don't think of this as a re-make (of the horrendous Hollywood film).
This is a faithful rendition of the stage play...
It was a bloody awful play, a worse Hollywood film and, here, a television version of the bloody awful play...and, it's still a bloody awful film despite the fine actors.
Trailer...
