The Deadly Affair (1966)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Sidney Lumet
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Sony Screen Classics by Request)

Sidney Lumet's spy/crime drama unfolds like a novel, very slowly and very precisely. It is set in a gray, dirty London. Poor old James Mason is married to nymphomaniac Harriet Andersson but ignores her escapades until it is with someone he knows. The ending is rather clever, but it takes a long time to get there.
