yes, she was unknown to me too. in the film she is an austrian princess but she looked italian. her job is to look pretty and not talk too much, so that the three male actors alone remain in the spotlight. i was a bit repelled by stanley baker, coz of his hairdo which reminded me of trump, but he sure was a great actor. some of the close - ups of bogarde showed a surprisingly acne-ridden, unhealthy skin under all the makeup. i dont know if this was intentional. otherwise, i find him quite handsome with his full hair and kissable mouth. strangely enough, it is the area between nose and mouth which is most interesting, though. i always look at that.I already watched it in Mubi.com. Great film, with the usual flaws about women et al. Losey knew how to make films indeed. I suspect the actress who played the role of the student wasn't a first choice. I'm not atracted by Bogarde at all, he reminds me of my cousin who is stupid but not a bad person. Stanley Baker reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix. He was a great actor and made a lot of films with Losey.
there is another losey on mubi.uk called the in-betweens. do you know it?
