Before becoming a 1960s art house favorite in films by Joseph Losey and Luchino Visconti, Dirk Bogarde shot to stardom in England playing sexy, amoral cads in juicy ’50s crime dramas. This is the best of the lot with Bogarde as Edward “Teddy” Bare, a cocksure sociopath with a taste for older women—and their money. But has he met his match with his latest “conquest,” a savvy widow (Margaret Lockwood), a bracing and bawdy antidote to the starry-eyed saps hopelessly in thrall to noir’s “bad boys.
