A turn-of-the-century romantic drama, THE GO-BETWEEN recounts the secret love affair between a beautiful heiress, Marion (Julie Christie), and the poor tenant farmer, Ted Burgess (Alan Bates). The "go-between" in the romance between Marion and Ted is a twelve-year-old boy (Dominic Guard) who unwittingly allows himself to be used as their message bearer. Eventually, Marion's mother (Margaret Leighton) discovers the ruse. And after she precipitates a shocking confrontation, the emotional experience of being caught up in a doomed love affair leaves a lasting scar on the young boy's life. © 1971, renewed 1999 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

Hodnotenia a recenzie

One of the greatest British films ever made, with a screenplay by Harold Pinter from LP Hartley's novel, directed by an American, Joseph Losey. A psycho-sexual drama of trauma and class and love, set in that extraordinary time of elegant summers before the First World War, among the very wealthiest of English.
