This is a handsome picture, well-performed and emotionally intriguing as it describes the rise of a young business man and the corrosive dead-lock of his loveless marriage.

Rotten
A tolerable (if interminable) piece of mediocrity from 1960.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Robson's film is still highly watchable, with Paul and Joanne pretending their marriage is on the rocks, and all sorts of machinations in the boardroom and the bedroom.
