Finney and Courtenay are both brilliant as the waning star and the has-been confidant.
Courtenay's character is a passionate study of both desperation and unflagging loyalty.
Courtenay is wonderful as the fussy, loyal, oh-so-English man behind the man, maintaining a desperate hold on his good humour even as his life is coming apart in shreds as Finney disintegrates.

 One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich - vhs dvd - Tom Courtenay, Espen Skjønberg, Alf Malland, Frimann Falck Clausen, ...
I understand that the film was shot where the temperatures were in the 20 degrees F and that Tom Courtney had gone on a serious diet before filming.
Tom Courtenay is easily believable as Ivan, and the early scene where he devours a cold and non-nourishing breakfast is a hard-hitting portrayal of what the life of a Gulag prisoner was reduced to.
A horrific scene at the end of the movie (though not in the book) showing the Captain beginning his first night of ten in the punishment cells is representative of Solzhenitsyn's observation in "The Gulag Archipelago": The Soviet Union had its death camps too; it (as opposed to the Nazis) just didn't use gas.

 Tom Courtenay Biography :: Hollywood.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Though he came of age with Alan Bates, Albert Finney and the British film renaissance of the early 1960s, Tom Courtenay seemed the most genuinely proletarian of the trio.
His gaunt physique bespoke generations of malnutrition and lent itself perfectly to the Borstal boy of his memorable film debut in Tony Richardson's bleak "angry young man" drama "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" (1962) and to his Oscar-nominated turn as the revolutionary Pasha in David Lean's lavish "Doctor Zhivago" (1965).
After years on the British stage, including a turn as the Melancholy Dane "Hamlet" (1969), Courtenay made his belated Broadway debut in Simon Gray's "Otherwise Engaged" (1977) and returned to the Great White Way in the 1981 production of "The Dresser".
