Adapted from Robin Maugham’s short story, 1963 drama, The Servant marked the first of three collaborations between director Joseph Losey and celebrated playwright Harold Pinter.
The Servant depicts the story of Barrett, played by Dirk Bogarde, a seductive and subtle manservant hired by foppish aristocrat Tony (James Fox) to manage his new townhouse. Barrett’s awe-inspiring efficiency gives way to a suspicious and insidious control, where the roles of master and servant … mehrare subtly reversed.
