A Delicate Balance is the 1973 film adaptation of
Edward Albee's Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
Katharine Hepburn and
Paul Scofield play an old married couple,
Agnes and
Tobias, who much prefer to be alone. Each time someone visits them, their "delicate balance" is threatened. The first intruder is
Agnes' inebriated sister,
Claire (
Kate Reid). The next is their much-divorced daughter,
Julia (
Lee Remick). The limit is reached when well-meaning friends
Harry (
Joseph Cotten) and
Edna (
Betsy Blair) show up unexpectedly and threaten to stay forever. In keeping with the austerity of the other
American Film Theatre presentations, director
Tony Richardson eschews his usual cinematographic pyrotechnics here.
