Norman (Tom Courtenay, title character) leads the way as the aging Shakespearean company led by "Sir" (Albert Finney) attempts a wartime change of trains, in The Dresser, 1983, from Ronald Harwood's play and screenplay.

Having rescued "Sir" (Albert Finney, the lead actor and manager of a WWII English Shakespearean theater company) from a senile episode, Norman (Tom Courtenay, title character) prepares him and supporting actors (Michael Gough, Lockwood West) for their performance, in Peter Yates' The Dresser, 1983.
