Additional InformationWealthy wastrel James Fox hires insouciant cockney Dirk Bogarde as a valet. No sooner has he donned his working clothes than Bogarde begins exercising a subtle but insidious control over his master. Suggesting that the house could use a little fixing up, Bogarde convinces Fox to spend a whopping amount of money on it. But this is just a warm-up session for Bogarde, who by mid-film is calling all the shots in the Fox household, all the while pretending to keep his place. Fox's fiance Wendy Craig sees through Bogarde's game. Bogarde then brings his own lady friend Sarah Miles into the house. At Bogarde's insistence, Miles seduces Fox, thereby loosening Craig's hold on the confused young man. And so it goes. The homosexual subtext of THE SERVANT disturbed some of the more hidebound critics of 1963; Harold Pinter based his cryptic screenplay on a novel by Robin Maugham.

A thought provoking and controversial psychological drama with all leading actors, in particular Dirk Bogarde, giving wonderful performances.
A chilling performance by Dirk Bogarde as Barrett, a study of at first understated subservience, then as the film progresses, Barrett's true character of arrogant and amused insolence and depravity emerges as a gradual process. Similarly, James Fox is excellent as the hapless and morally weak character who succumbs gradually but inevitably to Barrett's influence and his character's total dissolution as a person of any worth and standing is a tour de force. Wendy Craig and Sarah Miles give sterling performances in the leading female roles, portraying characters typical of the era and social class. Wendy Craig in particular features in some taut scenes where her character attempts to exert domination with ill disguised disdain over the manservant, Barrett, but one is left with the impression that Barrett wins the battle of wills and words. Dirk Bogarde thoroughly deserved his BAFTA award for best actor and his credentials as an actor who is so capable of subtle and intelligent interpretation of a character, likeable or not, is totally affirmed. I can thoroughly recommend this film to anyone who appreciates thought provoking and controversial psychological dramas.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
