Only Two Can Play (Gilliat, 1962): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 3pm
This world premiere 4K restoration is part of the Peter Sellers season at BFI Southbank. The film also screens on August 15th. Details here.
Time Out review:
Peter Sellers is at his most controlled in this biting, rather sad farce, adapted from the Kingsley Amis novel That Uncertain Feeling.
He's embarrassingly good as an anxiously lecherous Welsh librarian,
married with kids, living in a gloomy apartment with peeling wallpaper
and the plumbing up the spout. Enter Mai Zetterling, the delicious, bored wife of a local dignitary... It's well-observed, dry, and just a tad smutty.
