this is the best example of renegade british filmmaking of the 1960s and definitely on a higher plane than seance on a wet afternoon or even blow up. dirk bograde was fantastic and creepy at times as is sarah miles.

Superb film about a working class valet who turns the table on his boss. Wonderful script by Harold Pinter who has a bit part. Black and white photography and jazz score are further highlights.

Pistelias draama Englannin luokkayhteiskunnasta, jossa nuorehko ylaluokan poikamies palkkaa itselleen liiankin taitavan miespalvelijan. Kaksinaismoraalia ja rappioelamaa film noirin hengessa. Hyvin naytelty, upeasti kuvattu.

If the Novel by Maugham is not a master piece, Pinter's Screenplay is tremendous. Losey is here at his best, such as Bogarde, one of the most underestimate actor.
