The Accident (1967):- a languid Oxford summer is the background to this self-assured treatment of Harold Pinter's screenplay. A calm veneer of civilization is laboriously peeled away, after an undergraduate is killed in a car crash and his girlfriend stays with a philosophy professor, setting the six central characters (three men, two wives and the girl) at odds as they gradually tear each other to shreds. Superb performances and a disconcertingly urbane atmosphere.
