...carriages, mirrors and staircases (the last two, familiar obsessions from other Losey films).

He swelters in his woolen Norfolk jacket until his friend's elder sister Marian (Julie Christie) volunteers to take him into town and buy him more suitable clothes. She is fond of the boy, but she is careful to cultivate him too. Soon he is carrying messages to her lover, a Laurentian farmer named Ted Burgess...

During 1942 and 1943, when he ran Treblinka, Stangl supervised the slaughter of over 400,000 people. Wearing a spotless white SS jacket and sporting a long riding crop, he often arranged for brass bands to entertain his captives as they were herded into Treblinka's infamous gas "showers." Captured by American troops and turned over to Austrian authorities, Stangl escaped in 1947 and fled to Brazil, where he worked...
