Disturbingly eloquent.

The Servant is one of those rare films that upsets, challenges and entertains. James Fox playing the role of the spoiled, beautiful and rich young man,Tony, meets his match in the somewhat sinister servant, Hugo, superbly acted by Dirk Bogarde.

Tony has a girlfriend, Susan. Wendy Craig performs this role with great sensitivity. Her part serves to emphasize the tensions as they mount up during the film.

Each man deserves the other. The ensuing chaos is simultaneously tragic and comic. One is left to draw one's own conclusions regarding the sexual innuendos that subtily characterize the relationship between the two men.

I give this film five stars because from start to finish its a great work of cinema art.
