Based on Herman Melvilles celebrated short storyBartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street, Anthony Friedmanns unduly neglected film relocates the action to 1970s London and stars Oscar-winner Paul Scofield (A Man for All Seasons), John McEnery (Franco Zeffirellis Romeo and Juliet), and Thorley Walters (Hammers The Phantom of the Opera).When a young office clerk, Bartleby (McEnery), becomes increasingly defeated by the pressures of modern life, he gradually opts out of all forms of social engagement and his frustrated employer (Scofield) does all he can to stop him from withdrawing entirely into his own world.Superbly acted and exquisitely photographed, Bartleby is a rare gem of 1970s British cinema. Presented in a brand new restoration from a 4K scan of the original negative, this wry and complex drama makes its worldwide debut on Blu-ray accompanied by a range of new and archival extra features.ExtrasNew restoration from a 4K scan of the original negative by Powerhouse Fi
