Summary: A professor returns to his family home with his wife for the first time in nine years. The American Film Theatre production of Harold Pinter's play.

Possibly the best of the universally excellent films produced by the American Film Theatre, producer Ely Landau's programme that allowed moviegoers to subscribe to film versions of classic plays, Peter Hall's THE HOMECOMING is a magnificent adaptation of Harold Pinter's play. In it, a successful philosophy professor named Teddy (Jayston) braces himself to return to his North London home for the first time in nine years to introduce his wife Ruth (Merchant) to his family. Unfortunately, this family consists of an assortment of abusives and miscreants (played by Cyril Cusack, Paul Rogers and Ian Holm) that make the atmosphere very uncomfortable for Teddy and turns his wife into the catalyst for a multitude of conflicts and revelations.
