The Final Stage is a film directed by Frank Howson.[1]
Cast[edit]
- Tommy Dysart as Stinky Radford

Production[edit]
It was based on an early play by Howson and was the seventh film from Boulevard Films and the third which Howson directed. He shot it over two weeks with a cast of six actors on one set.[2]
The movie has been called one of Howson's most personal works.[3]
Fraud Case[edit]
Howson later tried to pass the film off as another movie The Boy Who Dared to Dream in order to enable investors to achieve a tax deduction. This was unsuccessful and Howson was convicted of fraud.[4]
