an exceptional film
This movie is about a poor English man who wants to claw his way to the top in the business world. To do this, he insinuates himself to the boss’ daughter, while at the same time having an affair with a married woman who is 10 years his senior! Despite his being a sleazebag, of sorts, he has genuine feelings for this older lady and wants to marry her. However, at the same time events around him conspire to prevent this–ultimately leading to tragedy.The reason I liked this film so much is that despite Lawrence Harvey’s character being a scheming jerk, he is not 100% despicable and you can understand a lot of his anger and desire to move up the social scale. Several times during the movie, he meets people who think they are better than him simply by virtue of their family background or position at the company. All these work together to produce a gritty, somewhat sleazy drama that seems plausible and definitely holds your attention.
