Now. I'm not saying that this is a bad film. In fact all the cast are good including Mr Sting. But This version of Denis Potters work suffers because there was an a much better more disturbing version made 6 years earlier.. Strangely that version also starred Denholm Eliot and was more claustrophobic and intimate making the whole experience for the viewer more disturbing. By expanding the the scope this version loses its impact which is a shame because as I previously said this isn't a bad film, it was done better for less money and with a smaller budget..
