Collection of feature films directed by Joseph Losey. In 'The
Sleeping Tiger' (1954), a psychiatrist brings a criminal into his
home as an experiment in rehabilitation after catching the thief
red-handed trying to break into his house. The patient seems to be
making progress until the psychiatrist's wife falls in love with
him putting his recovery back significantly. During his three years
in prison, 'The Criminal' (1960), Johnny Bannion (Stanley Baker),
has been devising his next robbery. Once out of prison he pulls off
the heist and buries the money, but is arrested before he can tell
the rest of the gang of its whereabouts. The gang eventually spring
him from jail, but make a mistake that may mean they never see the
money at all. 'Eva' (1962) is a psychological drama set in Venice,
where a Welsh novelist (Baker) falls in love with a scheming,
gold-digging Frenchwoman named Eva (Jeanne Moreau). Realising that
Eva will never love him, the novelist marries the beautiful
Francesca (Virna Lisi) who in turn loses her will to live when she
discovers her husband's secretly harboured desires. In 'The
Servant' (1963), spoiled young British aristocrat Tony (James Fox)
buys a handsome Georgian townhouse and employs Hugo Barrett (Dirk
Bogarde) as his manservant. Initially appearing to settle in well
to his new position, Barrett soon begins to exert his influence
over his master with the overall goal of getting rid of Tony's
girlfriend Susan (Wendy Craig) with whom Barrett does not get
along. In 'Accident' (1967), two Oxford students, William (Michael
York) and Anna (Jacqueline Sassard), crash their car outside their
professor Stephen (Bogarde)'s house. The lecturer finds William
dead and Anna in shock, and the horrifying spectacle in front of
him triggers memories of their previous meeting. It transpires that
Anna had been having an affair with one of the professor's
colleagues, and, in a flashback to a dinner party, it is revealed
what part Stephen had to play in the fall-out of the relationship.
In 'The Go-Between' (1970), a young teenage boy, Leo (Dominic
Guard), is invited to his wealthy school friend Marcus (Richard
Gibson)'s family estate and is drawn into a love affair with
Marcus's sister, Marian (Julie Christie). As he discovers that
Marian is engaged to be married to Hugh (Edward Fox), a viscount of
high-standing in the county, Leo doubts his ethics and starts to
figure out a way to get out of the affair. In 'Mr. Klein' (1976),
while the Nazis are undergoing the deportation of French Jews from
occupied France, a Parisian art dealer (Alain Delon) discovers that
he has a Jewish counterpart with the same name, for whom he is
mistaken...
