Studiocanal UK’s Vintage Classics Collection is about to make room for another fine film. Next month Joseph Losey’s (The Go-Between, The Sleeping Tiger) 1967 award-winning classic drama, Accident and you can enjoy it in glorious 4K!
With a screenplay by the legendary Harold Pinter (The Servant) and a standout performance from long-time Losey collaborator Dirk Bogarde (Darling). Accident adaptation of Nicholas Mosley’s novel of the same name, Bogarde is ably supported by a cast including Jacqueline Sassard (Les Biches), Stanley Baker (The Criminal), Michael York (The Lion in Winter) and Vivien Merchant (Alfie).
Synopsis | “The story of a love triangle … and the four people trapped in it!”
Stephen (Dirk Bogarde) is a middle-aged professor at Oxford University. Stifled by his life of marriage and academia, he yearns for an affair with his beautiful and enigmatic student Anna (Jacqueline Sassard). He is locked into a battle for Anna’s affection against her fiancé, William (Michael York), whose youthful vitality he envies, and with his friend and academic rival Charley (Stanley Baker – Zulu), whose media profile and sexual success he covets.
