| | Notes | This is a wonderful film in which everyone plays their part to perfection. Included here because of the deaf character, Charles' brother, played by David Bower. This character is seamlessly integrated into the plot and brings about the ultimate 'reversal' at the end. Bower is a deaf actor who uses only signing in the film to wonderful effect; especially the scene where his girlfriend who is learning signing is given subtitles. Bower can in reality like many deaf people also speak so if you're very p.c. you might think his role is stereotyped.
