"The Naked Civil Servant" (1975, starring John Hurt). I've seen this

mentioned in Maltin's 1989 film guide, I can't imagine. Has anyone
seen the sequel yet? It's "Englishman in New York" -also starring
Hurt!

I've got his 2002 film guide. If there's no home video version of a
movie, it's not in the guide.

His book used to be inclusive, I suppose as time went by something had
to give to make room for the new. Older editions (though I don't know
when the change happened) and Steven Scheuer's "Movies on TV" (I don't
know whether that's still being updated) did include made for TV movies.
