What Blind Date Is About

The Dutch painter Jan van Rooyer walks into the house where he is due to meet his lover and finds the police there: she has been found dead and he is the suspect. Inspector Morgan listens to his account of how the affair began and how it went on. Then another name enters the file, a name that must not appear in the record. The investigation changes direction. Joseph Losey's British film ties the murder mystery to class: an inspector of working-class origin comes up against pressure to protect a name from the top of society. Hardy Krüger plays the painter and Stanley Baker the inspector. Losey settled in Britain after being blacklisted in America, and made this film there.
