A Private Function (1984 Malcolm Mowbray)

Written by Alan Bennett, from a story by he and the director, well acted by a top British cast of Michael Palin, Maggie Smith, Denholm Elliott (making the most of his venomous character), Richard Griffiths (endearing), Bill Paterson, Liz Smith, Alison Steadman, Jim Carter, Pete Postlethwaite, Rachel Davies (landlady).

Background of meat rationing / crime and local politics well caught. Features a cute pig. Shot by Tony Pierce-Roberts.

I thought I missed Bill, but he's still working steadily, most recently in Fleabag
