The Curse of Steptoe

The Curse of Steptoe tells the story of Harry H. Corbett, a rising star of the stage who lands the role of a lifetime as Harold Steptoe in a popular television comedy show. But as the show's success grows, Corbett finds himself typecast and unable to shake off the role that made him famous. His personal life suffers as he becomes increasingly consumed by the character, while his co-star Wilfrid Brambell, who plays his father, struggles with his own demons as a gay man in a society that refuses to accept him. As the show reaches its peak and the actors' careers are milked dry, Corbett is left to confront the emptiness of his success and the price he has paid for fame.
