Good screen presence of Melina Mercouri and Patrick McGoohan. A typical melodrama that an average viewer would like. A typical Losey film accentuating the class differences and wealth-related social differences.
Mercouri slipped into the role of a gypsy with elan. Cinematographer Jack Hildyard's indoor photography was unusually below par with lights on as candles were doused. I guess he won fame for his outdoor work in films such as "The Bridge on the River Kwai."
