I happen to have a recorded copy from television and it's a wonder I haven't worn it out. Jeremy Brett is most known for Sherlock Holmes, but he is an absolute treasure in this role of such a pretentious, overstuffed peacock of a man. If only Jeremy's filmed plays would be released someday in a collection, I would absolutely buy them. As it stands, the only ones I can watch are On Approval and The Picture of Dorian Gray, both magnificent, but sadly giving an incomplete view of Jeremy's acting chops. Unless one was lucky enough to be an adult in the 70s in England, of which I, alas was not.
If you can get your hands on a recorded copy of "On Approval," do it. Maybe it's on YouTube. Do whatever you must to watch it. This one's an absolute keeper.
