While Elia Kazan pointed fingers and kept working in Hollywood, blacklisted Joseph Losey went into exile in England and made this film under the forced alias of Victor Hanbury. A psychiatrist (Knox) takes a criminal (Bogarde) into his home, much to the consternation of his wife (Smith). The sexual fireworks that follow are an obvious prefigurement of the later Losey/Bogarde classic, The Servant. (The astonishing Dirk Bogarde starred in five Losey films.)
