At the time a sexual show stopper, this can now be seen as an unconscious parody of Swinging Sixties chic. It is saved from mere shock novelty by Lynn Redgrave's performance as the dowdy girl pursued by older employer James Mason, who finds her own identity looking after the illegitimate baby of flatmate Charlotte Rampling. Former TV director Silvio Narizzano piles on the uneasy tricks of cinematic trendiness, but it's the acting that stabilises the story into something memorable for its boringly self-conscious era.

Frantic black farce which seems determined to shock, but has a few good scenes once you get attuned to the mood. A censorship milestone.

A classic sixties film!
I've seen this film a few times and really enjoy it. Although it's black and white, it captures the feel of the sixties really well, and there is an all star cast, each giving a good performance. I think the ending of the film is also something of a surprise, as the life of the main character (played by Redgrave) does not turn out how you would expect it to. Well worth watching!

I love 50s/60s movies and I enjoyed this one. Simple and funny .

Slightly soppy
Alan Bates would have been better in a stage production; you get the feeling he is constantly looking to the wings for his cue for the next line. Redgrave however is very confident and seems to relish being the dumpy frumpy character George. Shot in crisp black and white it is great to pick out the old London landmarks in the 60s. Holds up well.

strange...........
I love Brit films of the sixties...but I didn't enjoy this, I found it quite bizarre really and like I didn't really get the point...if there was one. It made a kind of odd attempt at being a comedy...but never quite pulled it off.
