Product Description
Once upon a time, in the small town of Arcata in California, a rich and successful actor made a promise to a young, attractive and vulnerable girl: "I shall love you. Look after you. I don't want to hurt you or oppress you, or deny you in any way".
But the promise was broken. After being constantly abused and assaulted, the girl left, and the actor fell into a self-destructive spiral: drink, no friends, no work. Now, left alone in a shabby basement flat, he is haunted by that promise, the girl to whom he made it, and himself.
Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins gives an incendiary, tour-de-force performance opposite award-winning actress Kate Nelligan in renowned playwright David Mercer's intense, harrowing screenplay, for which producer Peter Willes received a Silver Medal for Outstanding Achievement from the Royal Television Society. First screened as part of ITV's Sunday Night Drama anthology, The Arcata Promise showcases a remarkable career highlight from one of the world's most significant and respected actors.

I had no expectations as I didn't know anything about the film apart from Anthony Hopkins starring in it. I liked it.
