The 'banging the lodger' aspect of this story (as distinct from the extent of Marjorie's 'hippo'-crisy and manipulation and Harold's f***ed-up passivity) is not unrealistic for Fifties Britain. There was a comparable case in my own family: a longstanding (and childless) marriage in which the husband had his mistress living in the spare room – with her/his child – seemingly all 'tolerated' by the wife. It continues to perplex my family this day...
Anyway how do these kind of people sleep at night(no joke intended) having never seen this before therefore not knowing how it ends, I think Harold should have faked his death and run away with Jean to Ireland or a small village in Wales. Poor guy, I hope this woman goes mad and spends her life in an asylum, she's a total nutter. I understand that she's weak and messed up in her head but intentionally ruining someone's life cannot be excused.
yeah,..and PART of this film is sick for having adultery in the same bed ,w/your daughter,with a (almost )stranger"Is she sleeping" duh-,.well would it even matter if you had a conciounse at all,even.Good movie even so.Still,strange.lol.
you think to yourself how twisted this movie is - then you remember its based on a true story *shudder - Rupert Graves is gorgeous btw ;) haha

Part of this film are so sad..passion, desire, it makes us all so fragile. Julie's character is remarkably sad and weak.
