But it's a Taylor film no one talks about.
I actually think it's great, in its way (but, as with every Laurence Harvey movie he does with Taylor, I always want to re-cast him with James Mason).
Anyway, yes, I think it's a smidgen underrated. And has a nice, London-y, shrouded early-'70s melancholy flavor and that neo-Victorian early-'70s thing what with the dark wood and the plush velvet-y furniture and the Tiffany lamps and the overgrown plants and deep shadows and the sprinkling of harpsichord in the score and the occasional fish-eye lens.
Great twist ending, too!
An underrated thriller.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLinda Hayden has said in interviews that production was delayed because of health problems of major cast members: Dame Elizabeth Taylor's heart and back problems and Laurence Harvey battling cancer.
- Quotes
Appleby: How nicely you've done the house. Did you know this was three rooms when I was a child? Beautiful, quite beautiful. I do love Indian art. Erotic, violent... your inspiration for this whole scheme, I assume. So charming. Oh... will you be away long?
Ellen Wheeler: At the moment, that seems to depend on... you Mr. Appleby.
Appleby: Oh, Mrs. Wheeler... Inspector Walker wouldn't believe me either. But I do admire you. How many "abandoned wives", or cuckolds for that matter, would have had your courage to pull off what you did? I myself, did nothing.
Ellen Wheeler: It's a great favor to ask you, but since you are so fond of this house...
Appleby: Yes?
Ellen Wheeler: Would it be possible for you to stay here and look after it while I'm away?
Appleby: [flattered] Well... I don't know what to say.
Ellen Wheeler: The garden too of course. Here are the keys.
Appleby: [takes the keys] It will be a pleasure. I'll see that nothing is disturbed.
Ellen Wheeler: Thank you, Mr. Appleby.
Appleby: No... thank you, Mrs. Wheeler.
