When Elizabeth and Lewis Fielding's marriage shifts from perfect into boring, Elizabeth decides to leave her comfortable home and travel abroad. Suddenly overcome with jealousy, Lewis imagines his wife in a myriad of sordid situations. And when Elizabeth returns to England, she starts checking up on Lewis's own indiscretions. Into this atmosphere of tension and mistrust comes Thomas, a young German hustler, whom Elizabeth met in Baden-Baden. As a perverse experiment, Lewis decides to take Thomas on as a houseguest. But when his wife starts falling in love with the gigolo, Lewis realises that his plans may have backfired. Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson star as the Fieldings in this ambiguous melodrama with Helmet Berger as the young house guest. From Thomas Wiseman's novel.
