Hanif Kureshi's script brings out the best in Peter O'Toole. He plays Maurice, an aging actor who falls in love with his friend's niece. Endearing and sleazy at the same time, O'Toole basks in the limelight. "Pleasure, I like. I've tried to give pleasure. That's all I'd recommend to anyone." says his character. It stands true for the master's acting too.
