Book Presentation:
Amy Sargeant's illuminating study of Joseph Losey's The Servant (1963) provides a detailed discussion of the film's production and reception history, as well as a textual analysis that focuses on Harold Pinter's adaptation of Somerset Maugham's novella; the film's use of architecture and interior design to establish character and relationships. Richly illustrated with images from the film as well as fine art to which the film refers this book will appeal to fans of the film, of Losey, of Bogarde and of the Film Classics series
