Barry provides a lush, minor-key score for Carol Reed’s final film. Jayston’s stuffy Charles is jealous of his American wife (an impressive Farrow) and has her tailed by Topol’s private detective. She soon realises she is being followed, prompting a romantic game of cat-and-mouse between the pursuer and pursued. The results are charming and playful, with Barry’s atmospheric, dream-like soundtrack accompanying some great shots of early 1970s London.
