Rating:  - Essential for Bogarde Fans
Though he is seldom mentioned in the same company as Laurence Olivier or Ralph Richardson, Dirk Bogarde is unquestionably one of the finest British actors - and compared to his other distinguished Knighted contemporaries, he was arguably the finest film actor of the lot. With his striking features and easy charm, Bogarde became a matinee idol early on - a label he detested. After appearing in a string of mostly forgotten comedies, Bogarde found an ideal artistic "partner" in the blacklisted American ... Read More

Rating:  - Teacher, Teacher
Since I have already reviewed "The Servant" separately, I will confine my comments here to "The Mind Benders" and "Accident."

There is nothing to react to beyond the finesse with which they round ... Read More
Rating: - Off the beaten track.

Rating: - Comulsory for Fans of 1960s British Cinema
This DVD release of "The Servant" "Accident" & "The Mind Benders" gets 5 stars here, simply because the three films are so well-presented (and the cost is so reasonable). Extras are skimpy: original trailers (it is quite informative to see how such challenging films were marketed in the early 1960s) and sketchy notes on the artists ("Victim", for example, in which Bogarde starred in 1961, is not included in his filmography). The films are nicely divided into chapters, but there are no subtitles included.
