Released three months before The Servant, in which Bogarde's romantic leading man image was indelibly altered forever, this was just the type of role he was desperate to get away from (this was his fourth and last Doctor film). Nicholas Phipps and Ronald Scott Thorn's story is not very interesting, really. Bogarde has hitched up with model Samantha Eggar whilst James Robertson Justice has fallen for physiotherapist Barbara Murray, who we just saw in The Punch and Judy Man, causing him to sleep piano play (a not uncommon condition, so I hear). With Donald Houston, Fenella Fielding, Ann Lynn, Leo McKern, Dennis Price, Frank Finlay, Amanda Barrie, Reginald Beckwith, Peter Butterworth, Ronnie Barker, only Pauline Jameson again and Mylène Demongeot.
