As someone who has repeatedly felt like going on the campaign trail to get past film and television adaptations of the works of Harold Pinter released on DVD (I have a small treasure trove on VHS tape), I was overjoyed by Network's release of The Collection last year and will soon have further reason to celebrate when Peter Hall's 1973 adaptation of Pinter's The Homecoming is released as part of a 2-disc DVD collection with Harold Pinter – Pinter's Progress, BAFTA award-winning director Philip Saville's 2009 documentary on the playwright.

Directed in 1973 by Pinter's long-favoured collaborator Sir Peter Hall and starring Ian Holm, Paul Rogers, Michael Jayston, Vivien Merchant, Cyril Cusack and Terence Rigby, The Homecoming tells the tale of an expatriate philosophy professor returning to England with his new wife only to uncover bitter family jealousies. Widely regarded as Pinter's greatest play, this lost gem of 1970s cinema is packed with the blistering dialogue that became its author's trademark and has been hailed as "an engrossing rendition of Pinter's disturbing play...brilliant in its malevolent and macabre humour" (Talking Pictures).

Directed by Philip Saville (The Life And Loves Of A She-Devil; Boys From The Blackstuff), Pinter's Progress presents an intimate take on Harold Pinter and his work through interviews and conversations with actors and directors who have worked closely with him. Among those featured are Sir Michael Caine, Jonathan Pryce, Steven Berkoff, James Fox, Susannah York and Sheila Hancock.

Harold Pinter – Pinter's Progress and The Homecoming (cert. 12) will be released on 2-disc DVD by 3DD Home Entertainment on 1st November 2010 at the RRP of £19.99.
