Surprisingly amusing and touching slice of early 70's England centered around a mismatched couple who have drifted into their roles and forgotten why they loved each other. Understated performance from Farrow and Jayston contrasting against Topol's delicious turn as a would-be romantic lead personifying the free spirit of the age in his white garb and hat. Underpinned by a haunting song, this is a truly touching and captivating curio that time will forget and we will all be impoverished by its passing. Carol Reed and Peter Shaffer combine to create a thing of strange and beguiling beauty..
