A Voyage Round My Father (1984)

Actors: Laurence Olivier (actor), Alan Bates (actor), Harold Goodwin (actor), John Mortimer (writer), Alvin Rakoff (director), John Mortimer (writer), Norman Bird (actor), Esmond Knight (actor), Patrick Barr (actor), Raymond Huntley (actor), Jane Asher (actress), Anthony Sharp (actor), Alan Cox (actor), Elizabeth Sellars (actress), Michael Aldridge (actor),

Plot: Before creating the beloved courtroom drama Rumpole of the Bailey, writer John Mortimer found inspiration in his own life for this portrait of a difficult but enduring love between father and son in mid-20th-century Britain. Screen legend Laurence Olivier stars as the eccentric patriarch--a blind barrister so stubborn and cantankerous that he refuses to acknowledge his sightlessness. Alan Bates (Gosford Park) portrays his devoted son, who follows his father's footsteps in the law while longing to become a writer, with Jane Asher (Brideshead Revisited) as his wife. Adapted for the screen by Mortimer himself and filmed largely on location at his family estate in bucolic Oxfordshire, this production garnered multiple awards, including an International Emmy for best drama. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, it captures the special bond between father and son, which at times seems unbearable--but ultimately unbreakable.

Clifford Mortimer: When I rise to cross-question I will not be interrupted!::Judge: Gentlemen, gentlemen, please! Now, what was your question?::Clifford Mortimer: I have forgotten it. My learned friend's remark had the effect he no doubt intended and I have forgotten my question!::Boustead: Sir, this is absurd!::Clifford Mortimer: Wait! I've remembered it again...

Clifford Mortimer: This coffee's frozen, like a sort of Arctic mud.

John Mortimer: You think of how people tell you it's meant to feel: sudden freedom, the end of dependance. You walk into the sun and no-one is taller than you, and you are in no-one else's shadow. But I know how I felt. Lonely.

It's impossible to cry if you say "Rats!", it's something to do with the muscles of the face.::Sons as a Boy: [Walking to the car, off to boarding school] Rats! Rats! Rrrrrats!

Clifford Mortimer: Never let anyone deceive you into thinking that the world was created in six days. Six days labour wouldn't produce one primitive earthworm! The evolution of the horse was a most torturous process! [Shakes head] So, none of this "six days" nonsense.

Quotes:

Narrator: In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth. And the Earth was without form and void. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light." And there was light.

Adam: This is now bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh.

Cain: Am I my brother's keeper?

Abraham: The ways of the Lord are not our ways. And what He hath intended or how it shall be perfected is not in our power to know. Only in the trust of what is to come can we prosper. And in that trust shall we pitch our tents.

One of the Three Angels: [after Sarah laughs when told she is to have a child at her advanced age] Why dost thou laugh? Is anything too hard for the Lord?

God: [to Adam and Eve] Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

God: What hast thou done?::Eve: The serpent beguiled me and I did eat.

Abraham: The night is filled with Thy voice. Here am I. What wouldst Thou demand of me?

God: [to the Serpent] Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above all the beasts of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

Eve: [after Cain is born] I have made a man from the Lord!
