Description
She sang while she played, Zee did. Always-'My love is a red red prick.' Robert and Zee are playing the final point in a game of table tennis. Robert misses.
Zee lets out a shriek of joy. They have been having a tournament, this last game is the decisive one. She goes to the board and chalks up the result, then throws the chalk down, wipes her hand to free it of dust and heads for the door.
ZEE. What do I get? The boot? Robert picks up the various balls and puts them in the nets.
Zee can be heard humming as she goes tearing up the stairs. Robert, about to leave the room, returns and with the end of his shirt, wipes the chalked record off the board. He is quiet, sad almost. . . . .
Edna O'Brien explores the sexual geometry of the eternal triangle and discovers some acute new angles . .
Now filmed with Elizabeth Taylor as Zee, the wife who broke all the rules . . . .
Michael Caine as Robert, the husband who made them up as he went along . . . . .
. . . . . and Susannah York as Stella, the mistress who tried to keep them . . . .
