British director John Schlesinger gave Julie Christie her breakthrough with this smashing social satire. After being plucked from obscurity by a journalist, a beautiful woman finds fame and fortune but love in the swinging 60's when everything seemed possible. Schlesinger and writer Frederic Raphael delivered a timeless existential character study about a woman who finds an empty existence in the material world where superficial values rule. Julie Christie delivered a dazzling performance as the woman who learns too late the value of love. The supporting cast includes Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey with pitch-perfect performances. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
