Home Sweet Home
1982 · Movie · 88 min · ★ 6.3
The dysfunctional home and romantic lives of three postal workers spill over into their work in this tragicomic slice of life from Mike Leigh. Gordon (Timothy Spall, in the first of his celebrated collaborations with the director) is lazy; Harold (Tim Barker) is an endless font of terrible puns and riddles; and Stan (Eric Richard) is an inveterate womanizer who happens to be having an affair with Harold’s wife (Su Elliot)—and could soon be having one with Gordon’s wife (Kay Stonham) too.
