The Servant (1963)
Harold Pinter-scripted social allegory is consistently engrossing, even when the plot appears to go off the deep end; Losey's direction is exquisitely controlled, as is Dirk Bogarde's slithering performance as the title character. I'm now eager to start exploring the rest of Losey's filmography (this is the first film of his I've seen).
Grade: A-
