Description

Two Oxford students, William (Michael York) and Anna (Jacqueline Sassard), crash their car outside their professor (Dirk Bogarde)'s house. The lecturer finds William dead and Anna in shock, and the horrifying spectacle in front of him triggers memories of their previous meetings. It transpires that Anna had been having an affair with one of the professor's colleagues and, in a flashback to a dinner party, it is revealed what part the professor had to play in the fall-out from the relationship.
