The Fool (film)

The Fool (film)

The Fool is a British film, produced and directed by Christine Edzard in 1990 from a script by Edzard and Olivier Stockman.

The plot examines the double life of a humble clerk posing as a businessman and moving in upper social circles. Its detailed evocation of life in Victorian London drew on the books of London life by Henry Mayhew.

The cast included Derek Jacobi, Cyril Cusack, Ruth Mitchell, Maria Aitken, Irina Brook, Paul Brooke, Richard Caldicot, James Cameron, Jim Carter, Jonathan Cecil, Maria Charles and Auriol Smith.

Jacobi and Cusack had previously worked with Edzard on her film adaptation of Charles Dickens "Little Dorrit" in 1988.

The atmospheric camerawork was by British cinematographer Robin Vidgeon.
