Stephen (Dirk Bogarde – The Servant) is a middle-aged professor at Oxford University. Stifled by
his life of marriage and academia, he yearns for an affair with his beautiful and enigmatic student
Anna (Jacqueline Sassard – Les Biches). He is locked into a battle for Anna’s affection against her
fiancé, William (Michael York – Logan’s Run), whose youthful vitality he envies, and with his friend and
academic rival Charley (Stanley Baker - Zulu), whose media profile and sexual success he covets.
Along with The Go-Between and The Servant, ACCIDENT is one of the three film collaborations
between legendary director Joseph Losey and playwright Harold Pinter. Often acknowledged as the
pinnacle of Losey’s distinguished career, ACCIDENT is a compelling and unforgettable masterpiece
