Written by: Nicholas Mosley
Plot
After a car crash outside an Oxford college, a philosophy tutor reflects on his desire for a student and his colleague's betrayals.
Sinekatalog’s take
Joseph Losey's chilly drama dissects Oxford academics' desires and betrayals after a fatal car crash. Dirk Bogarde and Stanley Baker are superb, and Harold Pinter's script makes a sharp, elliptical study of class and repression.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
