How the rich used to live

This is a throwback to films of an earlier era. Interesting to see Glenda Jackson before she became a left wing parliamentarian playing a wife who has everything seeking more out of life. Michael Caine plays a jealous husband much the same as he always does. Even in those days it is puzzling to think that the novelist he plays could have amassed so many of the trappings of wealth. Similarly one wonders how Helmut Berger who catches Jackson's attention in Baden Baden living dishonestly off his wits, partly from drugs and partly as a gigolo, could have been able to afford such expensive and well cut clothes. Glamorous locations make this a pretty film to watch even if credibility is stretched.
