Dirk Bogarde maintains a tacit 'healthy competition' relationship with Stanley Baker, who is also a university professor. An Austrian princess who looks elegant and intellectual but is actually dissolute.
Colleagues took the lead, and Bogard, who was unwilling to be behind, took advantage of the opportunity of the princess' encounter with Accident and did not hesitate to overlord .
The characters in the whole film seem to be only the princess' betrothed boyfriend who is more sunny and simple, and also suffered the death of Accident, the metaphor is self-evident.
The portrayal of body language is more important than the dialogue, and it can better highlight the subtle psychology of the Western middle class. (from Douban)
