-
The subtle, controlled performances of the principal actors make this work.
July 3, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
The whole thing is such a teapot tempest, and it is so assiduously underplayed that it is neither strong drama nor stinging satire. It is just a sad little story of a wistful don.
March 12, 2015 | Full Review… -
Dirk Bogarde's crumbling don is the sharpest of the many similar performances he has given, and Stanley Baker is superbly chunky as Bogarde's rival for a young Austrian student (Jacqueline Sassard).

A sharp and complex British film that his by turns witty and engaging.
March 12, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
Of Losey's three collaborations with Pinter (the other two are 1963's The Servant and 1970's The Go-Between), it is the most challenging and influential.
March 12, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
The film's didactic indifference also makes it unclear whether Stephen ups the ante or gets his comeuppance in the end.

Dec 05, 2010Understated and complex. A fine collaboration of Bogarde, Losey and Pinter.Stefanie C Super Reviewer

Nov 23, 2009Intense, compelling film with Michael York, Dirk Bogarde and Stanley Baker meeting gorgeous Jacqueline Sassard, and clashing verbal swords over her in that creepily repressed, passive-aggressive British style. Also interesting to see screenwriter Harold Pinter turn up in a cameo as a television executive. I looked up Sassard on IMDB, and was intrigued to learn that she had quite a solid acting career and then abruptly quit at age 28. I wonder why?Eric B Super Reviewer
