...TRIPLE ECHO finds Glenda Jackson waiting out World War II on a tumbledown farm deep in the English countryside. Her husband is a P.O.W. in Japan, so she takes a lover, a young soldier (Brian Deacon) who so enjoys her company and so dislikes the army that he deserts.

The husband is George Segal, by far the most deft American actor of light comedy, as he proved recently in Paul Mazursky's Blume in Love (TIME, June 25); the divorcée is Glenda Jackson, whose virtuosity and energy dazzle. Together they make an elegant pair of amorous antagonists, their smooth skills bringing great fun and fresh surprise to the sort of material that can always use a good professional refurbishing...
