Great Britain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD:it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ),ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SYNOPSIS: An attractive young charmer by the name of Mr. Sloane weasels his way into the lives of a middle-aged brother and sister, while trying to disguise the truth about his unpleasant past. This black comedy is based on a work by Joe Orton, the taboo-tweaking British playwright who delighted in loading his dialogue with satirical insights and racy double entendres. Indeed, sexual tension drives the plot from the very beginning, when the lonely Kath (Beryl Reid) spots Mr. Sloane (Peter McEnery) in a cemetery and invites him to become a boarder. Despite the age difference, Sloane coyly plays along with her flirtations for his own benefit. Their fun seems over when Kath's brother Ed (Harry Andrews) shows up, but the prim and proper gentleman also takes a shine to Sloane, hiring him as his chauffeur and taking particular interest in the young man's tight leather uniform. Kath and Ed's elderly father, however, develops a strong hatred of Sloane, and accuses to him of being involved in an old, unsolved murder. Though the translation to the screen is somewhat uneven, the controversial elements of Orton's text are mostly preserved, and his gleefully amoral tone survives intact.

Summary: a brilliant film that stands the test of time
Comment: This film was based on the very popular play by Joe Orton and although it shows it's age with the fashions, cars, etc., it certainly stands the test of time. A brilliant film whose ending must have been quite shocking for it's day. The casting is pure genius in this story of a young man who uses his sexuality and any other means at his disposal to get what he wants - the easy life. We first meet Mr. Sloane as Kath (a curvy matron played brillantly by Beryl Reid) flirts with him and decides to offer him a place to stay. Mr. Sloane is not welcomed into her odd little family. Her eccentric father recognizes him from a crime committed years ago and her in-the-closet brother is not amused by Kath's new plaything. We watch the tension build as Mr. Sloan manipulates his way into a situation that does not go quite the way he plans. Creepy film that I highly recommend.
