An accountant (Paul Scofield) in need of extra office help was pleased-initially-with his hire of the productive and capable Bartleby (John McEnery). That would change to his confusion and consternation as the new employee slowly and inexorably shut himself off from his job, his society, and ultimately his own life. At once funny, dramatic, ironic, and perplexing, this transposition of Herman Melville's short story to 1970s London also stars Thorley Walters, Robin Askwith, Colin Jeavons. 78 min.
