Trivia
Scriptwriter John Mortimer recalls in his 1994 autobiography, "Murderers and Other Friends", that Sir Laurence Olivier's memory for dialogue had entirely disintegrated (he was in his late 70s), so his lines had to be written on large sheets of paper and hung out of shot.

Citas
Henry Breasley: There was a young lady called Gloria who was had by Sir Gerald du Maurier, Jack Hylton, Jack Payne, Sir Gerald again, and the band of the Waldorf Astoria!

Miscast but still worthwhile

This is an early TV-version of one of John Fowles' greatest stories, the first and longest in his collection of the same name from 1974. All highly recommended reading. And perhaps it belongs to a genre better read in retreat, than seen on any screen. Though the effort to make a film of it deserves attention, if not else just because of the archetypal abyss of the story.

The main drawback is that Olivier is terribly miscast. The great ham is no ailing but still dangerously masculine and sharp old Man, as the painter Henry Breasley is supposed to be. Someone like Richard Harris might have been a more congenial choice for the role. And even Roger Rees seems somewhat too anemic here. While Greta Scacchi is pretty perfect. I'd buy it on DVD anytime, if it was available by itself and not just as a bonus in an Olivier collection..
