...DOLL'S HOUSE. Joseph Losey's version of the Ibsen classic is frosty and severe, embellished with several clumsy contemporary asides about the injustices heaped on women. It has the vigor and passion of commitment, however, and the cast is superb. Trevor Howard's Dr. Rank is gruffly tender; Delphine Seyrig's Kristine, a woman of tentative but dependable dignity; and Edward Fox's Krogstad, a figure of understandable desperation.

Hartley's work was better served by Jo seph Losey and Harold Pinter a couple of years back in The Go-Between. Once again, as in The Go-Between, class consciousness induces a terse, desperate kind of sexuality, then thwarts it. But there the similarity ends.

...last scene in Røros never got on film. She arrived 90 minutes late to a farewell party given by Losey for about 250 residents of the town. After she sat down at one of the tables, an angry member of the film crew scolded her for her behavior. "I'm a cardholder in the British Communist Party," he concluded somewhat irrelevantly, then added, "and I think you stink." Jane instantly burst into tears and left the party. Nobody heard a door slam...
