Losey\u2019s The Go-Between <\/em><\/h2>\n

Walt Mundkowsky<\/em><\/p>\n

The Go-Between<\/em><\/strong> (1971, Columbia) is the third film Joseph Losey has directed from a Harold Pinter script. Its virtues and defects are so much those of the first two (The Servant<\/em><\/strong>, 1963, and Accident<\/em><\/strong>, 1967) that Pauline Kael\u2019s judgment on Accident<\/em><\/strong> fits \u2014 \u201ca fascinating, rather preposterous movie, uneven, unsatisfying, but with virtuoso passages of calculated meanness.\u201d<\/p>\n

This film is an intelligent, respectful adaptation of the 1953 novel by L.P. Hartley, which Martin Esslin has called, rather excessively, \u201ca minor classic and a masterpiece.\u201d Henry James comes to mind (he would have deepened the psychological implications), but Hartley possesses his own vision and tone of voice. The story is simple enough. During the summer of 1900, a middle-class schoolboy named Leo Colston spends three weeks with the family of his friend, Marcus Maudsley. Leo forms a crush on Marian, Marcus\u2019 beautiful older sister, and comes to serve as messenger in her affair with Ted Burgess, a neighboring tenant farmer. On Leo\u2019s 13th birthday the affair is discovered and Ted shoots himself.<\/p>\n

\"Julie<\/p>\n

An extraordinary passage illustrates, I think, what the novel is about: \u201cSomething of the sadness of human life came through to me, its indifference to our wishes, even to the wish that calamity should be more colourful than it is. The ideas of acceptance and resignation were hard for me to entertain: I thought that emotions should be more dramatic than the facts that caused them.\u201d The movie never finds its way to that, but the concise beauty of Hartley\u2019s prose would resist translation in any case. Nearly all of Pinter\u2019s dialogue is from the book, much condensed. This process of selection doesn\u2019t reduce the novel to its essence, it strips the story of its first-person viewpoint and that elaborate psychology.<\/p>\n

Two scenes will suffice. The cricket match is shot and edited with surging exactness, but fails to symbolize the larger issues which inform the novel (\u201ca struggle between order and lawlessness, between obedience to tradition and defiance of it \u2026 between one attitude to life and another\u201d). At the supper after the match Leo sings Handel\u2019s \u201cAngels, ever bright and fair\u201d \u2014 \u201cI was proud of being able to sing it, for it was in the most uncompromising minor and the intervals were very tricky\u2026.\u201d In the film Leo, in one long close-up, butchers the song. Losey discards the original point \u2014 \u201cthe sensation of soaring that the music\u2019s slow ascent so powerfully evoked\u201d \u2014 in favor of a cheap laugh.<\/p>\n

\"Alan<\/p>\n

Losey admires Resnais, and the handling of time sets the film apart from the novel most strongly. In the book Leo, in his mid-sixties, comes across the diary he kept during 1900. He narrates the story in the past, from the vantage point of the present. In the epilogue he returns to Brandham Hall to find out what has happened in the intervening 50 years; he visits Marian, now a very old woman. Losey has dropped the prologue, and throughout the film he slips in flashes of Leo\u2019s journey to the past we see; the fragments are jumbled, but as they lengthen the design becomes clear: The whole movie is a careful build-up to Leo\u2019s meeting with Marian in the present. Clearly Losey has learned from Hiroshima mon amour<\/em><\/strong> and La guerre est finie<\/em><\/strong>: the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated image and sound, a soundtrack from the present over visuals from the past and vice versa, the flash-forward technique. As is usually the case except for Resnais, it works better in theory than in practice. Leo and Marian are riding along in a carriage and we hear Leo as an old man, \u201cYou flew too near the sun and you were scorched.\u201d The line is drawn from a lovely conversation in the book between Leo at 12 and Leo at 60-odd. Used alone, it is too blatantly ominous, as are the flashes-forward \u2014 overcast, rainy skies; a black limousine gliding about; the trick of nearly always showing Leo with his back to the camera.<\/p>\n

\"JulieAs in The Servant<\/em><\/strong> and Accident<\/em><\/strong>, a pivotal female role in The Go-Between<\/em><\/strong> is badly cast and acted. Julie Christie, as Marian, is not believably upper-class for an instant, and at 31 is too old for the part anyway. Richard Gibson\u2019s Marcus likewise fails to persuade; Losey has no feeling for the nuances and ever-changing hostilities of the boys\u2019 repartee and scuffling, which play an important role in the book. Usually Losey pays great attention to the music in his films. Here he has entrusted the score to Michel Legrand, who produces a series of formal pieces for piano and strings \u2014 devoid of any period sense and startlingly indelicate.<\/p>\n

Some of the goings-on are resolutely clouded. Leo fancies himself a magician; the novel treats his experiments with a touch of amusement after the passage of so many years. The film, however, strains to make them vaguely menacing \u2014 its sole \u201cPinteresque\u201d touch. When Leo tries \u201cto break the spell that Ted had cast on Marian,\u201d the obscurity gets so thick that it\u2019s impossible to tell what, if anything, is happening. Fundamental events like Leo\u2019s last meeting with Marian are presented in needlessly puzzling fashion \u2014 Julie Christie\u2019s dubbed-in old-lady voice; the watery blues of the photography; the off-center editing, which focuses on Leo even though he says hardly anything. Hartley\u2019s effect is missed by a mile: \u201cA foreigner in the world of the emotions, ignorant of their language but compelled to listen to it, I turned into the street. With every step I marvelled more at the extent of Marian\u2019s self-deception.\u201d A worthy theme \u2014 the primitive cruelties hidden behind civilized gestures \u2014 but Losey and Pinter dissect the class humiliations and general rot with a relish that makes their work part of what they are attacking. Distinctions get blurred.<\/p>\n

Still, The Go-Between<\/em><\/strong> has undeniable if finally insufficient strengths. The film retains Hartley\u2019s unforgettable opening line, \u201cThe past is a foreign country: they do things differently there,\u201d and its finest achievement is the way it charts that alien ground. Carmen Dillon, the art director whose work on the contemporary Accident<\/em><\/strong> was so meticulously right and revealing, makes Brandham Hall and its surroundings perfectly convincing to the last detail. This is not just a question of historical authenticity \u2014 not very difficult to arrange \u2014 but a matter of choosing the most unobtrusively striking facets of d\u00e9cor. Ms. Dillon succeeds; if you remember anything about this film, it is likely to be the setting.<\/p>\n

\"JosephJoseph Losey (right) was the recipient of the Palme d\u2019Or for The Go-Between at 1971 Cannes Film
\nFestival. To his left, Luchino Visconti, whose film Death in Venice was also in competition.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In this she is aided by Gerry Fisher. Accident<\/em><\/strong> was his debut as lighting cameraman \u2014 and an impressive triumph; in the five years since, he has established himself as one of the more expert and tasteful color cinematographers. It\u2019s hard to see how he could have gone wrong among all those costumes and the Norfolk countryside. The outdoor scenes could be further removed from mere prettiness, and on Leo\u2019s trips between the Hall and the farm the zoom lens gets tedious (Leo trying to outrun the music?). But the interiors are splendid: The colors are toned down to the neutral range \u2014 beiges, soft browns and greys \u2014 and are properly seductive.<\/p>\n

Losey is often skilled with actors and these performances are first-rate (exceptions noted). Best of all is Dominic Guard. The director has exploited the stiffness and unease of the inexperienced child actor to great advantage; Leo is a stranger who feels out of place. He is awkwardly anxious to please, with an edgy hostility beneath the surface. Guard gives the film what cohesion it has. Alan Bates works admirably against the Lawrentian mist Losey tries to throw around Ted, but the result is no more than the standard Bates performance.<\/p>\n

The aristocrats receive more attention, scornful though it may be. Margaret Leighton is a faultless Mrs. Maudsley; when she questions Leo about the letters he has been carrying for Marian, the cloak of politeness drops off and we see the fury which has been lurking all along. The actress manages the transitions so subtly that we are as shocked as Leo. As her ineffectual husband, Michael Gough has the correct bearing and voice. His dialogue is amusing, verging at times on caricature. Edward Fox (his brother James was the young master in The Servant<\/em><\/strong>) plays Viscount Trimingham with nonchalant grace and sure technique. He captures especially well Trimingham\u2019s relationship with Leo, alternating between genuine interest \u2014 treating him almost as an equal \u2014 and lofty, tolerant condescension.<\/p>\n

Losey and Pinter are up to the casual destruction of Leo\u2019s innocence; they fall short of the sharp feeling of loss Hartley creates. In the prologue Leo thinks that \u201chad it not been for the diary, or what the diary stood for, everything would be different. I should not be sitting in this drab, flowerless room, where the curtains were not even drawn to hide the cold rain beating on the windows, or contemplating the accumulation of the past and the duty it imposed on me to sort it out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
