    • Goofs
      Near the beginning, Patrick (Alan Dobie) loses his temper with a coal man who won't move his coal lorry so that Patrick can drive his car out of a narrow mews. He attacks the man, severely beating him to such an extent that he is taken to hospital with concussion and a broken jaw. Yet the police never investigate this or arrest him or charge him with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and nothing more is heard of the incident.

    One 70s film that does work !
    Open minded viewers not seeking wrongs, rights, ups n' downs , only surprising to see only 1 reviewer, and negative at that ?

    Roy Baker was a well weathered warts included, thoughtful director. And here he shows that skillfully, narratively and technically !

    Ms. Tushingham never better as in this instance. And the rest of cast all very believable. The first and most important element of a good story is that the viewer does actually care about all the characters and their dilemma ? Here we have a seemingly impossible triangle, to which there does not seem a simple solution ? Anyone who claims that the conclusion was obvious, perhaps had little or no empathy for these intelligent , people with all their confusing emotional baggage on brutal display ? Think , if you are a young or soon to be middle aged woman , as 2 points in the triangle , what could you, or would you do (legally without prejudice.) to find a civilized solution ? And if you happen to be a male viewer, would you be the weaker character or the stronger one ?

    My personal answer , is if we are true and understand the value of loyalty , this scenario would be unacceptable, therefore not occur ?
