Michael caine, glenda jackson... two of my own favorites! A writer's wife goes off to baden baden to think about her marriage and meets a poet. When the writer can't reach her by telephone, he imagines what is taking place in germany. And by chance, the poet contacts the writer in a case of mistaken identity. And even shows up at their house! When the writer puts his imagination down on paper, the lines between reality and fiction start to blur. Very clever story. We can feel the love and the anger between husband and wife elizabeth and lewis, but it comes out in the form of yelling and arguments. And lewis is just dying to know what really happened between his wife and thomas. Will he ever really find out, or is he too busy yelling and complaining to have a serious conversation? Helmut berger supporting role. The story itself isn't really that compelling, but it is fun to watch caine and jackson. Directed by joseph losey. He was nominated for two baftas, but not for this film. Novel by thomas wiseman.
