time around, I appreciated it more--- Dirk Bogarde, whom I've always thought as very similar to James Mason, was wonderful--- expressive with a nuance beyond most American actors' range. The biggest surprise, though, was Stanley Baker. I've only seen him in macho roles; it was odd to see him in glasses and portraying a don! He nicely brought it off, though.

The women, all 3, were perfect, as well. Seyrig has to be one of the sexiest women in film history, and so effortlessly.

And that brings us to... Michael York. Here, reality meets fiction: he actually attended and graduated from Oxford. When he punted, he did so with a practice that would be hard to come by for the purposes of one short scene...

I am going to revisit several other Pinter films and in advance reserve the right to contradict my earlier facile dismissal...
