A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (Standard Edition)

Playwright Peter Nichols adapted his own blackly comic 1967 Tony Award-winning play for this confrontational film version by director Peter Medak. Alan Bates and Janet Suzman play a married couple struggling to come to terms with their daughter's disability using comedy and cruelty to dispel the desperation of their situation. This uncomfortable, provocative film about marriage, children and life choices is startlingly funny as well as deeply moving.High Definition remasterOriginal mono audioAudio commentary with director Peter Medak and film historian Sam DunnRemembering the Day: Janet Suzman on 'Joe Egg' (2017, 18 mins): interview with the acclaimed actorFrom Stage to Screen: Peter Nichols on 'Joe Egg' (2017, 20 mins): interview with the celebrated playwrightOriginal theatrical trailerNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
