THE ACCOUNTANT

UK / BBC1 / 1x95m-e / 1989

Writer: Geoff Case / Composer:Carl Davis / Design:Jim Grant / Costume Design:Rita Reekie / Producer:Paul Knight / Director: Les Blair

Director Les Blair, like Mike Leigh, is a major fan of improvising in his scripts and this strong comedy drama had some semi improvised moments. Alfred Molina plays mild mannered Jewish accountant Lionel Ellerman who gets well out of his depth when he begins working for a man who may well have mafia connections.

Molina was nominated for a BAFTA award for his performance.
