    Lindsay Anderson's "If..." not purely Upper Class, but solid on Public School atmosphere and ritual.

    Fancy a Regency romp though the sexual degeneration of the British landed classes..... ?



    Mercouri entering the household, taking it over, and then bringing in her lover as a servant, we�re following the exact path of THE SERVANT, Losey�s later triumph.

    What a gyp! shadowplay







    Melina is not in the photograph by the way......

    Gosford Park?

    If movie from other countries count, the best of all about them is The Rules of the Game (1939)

    How about 'Nothing But the Best' 1964 with Alan Bates and Denholm Elliott. About a social climber. A good film!

    I do prefer Altman's Gosford Park than Renoir's La R�gle du Jeu.
