Much of the power of Room at the Top can be attributed to the skill in which the scenes are juxtaposed. The movie moves from dingy urban flat to imposing country house, continually emphasizing the incongruity of the two. Supportingly, Harvey moves from bare emotion to cool calculation as he lives, in turn, with his mistress and his cold dream...
