Not much about the film itself - just a few wacky observations . . .
A very astute version of Shaw's classic play - director Anthony Asquith, allows the characters to revel in the pathos that The Doctor spills over each scene.
Although Dirk Bogarde has his comedy smirk on, his performance is utterly commanding.
A nice little quote is *when you're as old as I am it doesn't matter how old a man is when he dies* :) In the latter scenes, the high jinks continue with (poor) old Dirk in shot in the background.
The colouring of the film is quite brutal - but lends a hand to the mystery of the plot - IMHO.
A nifty film for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
