Interesting period piece

Ultimately a rather weak film but it was interesting to watch as a social record of how it was in the mid 1960's. It did start quite interestingly (and the open credits were very masterful but somewhat flattered to deceive) but towards the end became predicatable and flat. Magnificient cast of now aged or dead UK actors and I wondered what made them appear in what really is a glorified B movie. Noel Coward played a bizarre and disturbing character that really did not add much to the story but highlighted his lack of acting talent. Olivier waltzed through his role and it was good to see Martita Hunt and others having a good time hamming it up!
