Entertaining Mr Sloane (1970, Douglas Hickcox)
That opening .... on the big screen must gave been something. .... and while Sloane isn't really of top calibre ( it's too stagey in places ... a curse of filmed plays .... you have to let the characters breathe dearie) .... I digress
Beryl Reid was in some weird films in her time ....the archetypal 'game old bird'
Would have like to seen Trevor Howard as the brother personally ... he could have summoned the hollow bluster that Eddie consists of. I love Orton's work and even in this half chewed form the lines are there.
