Plot

A prostitute and a girl in a London house.

Sinekatalog’s take

Joseph Losey's strange psychological drama has a prostitute and a disturbed girl forming a mother-daughter fantasy in a gloomy London house. Elizabeth Taylor and Mia Farrow star in an overheated, eerie, baroque curiosity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
