The Elephant Man

John Merrick (John Hurt) enjoys a night as a member of London Society, attending the theatre, where Mrs. Kendal (Anne Bancroft) dedicates the play’s performance to Merrick. For the first time in his life at peace with the world, he returns home, completes his model of Westminster Abbey, and lies down to sleep like a “normal” person would, knowing full well that this will kill him.
