Back to my Orton roots
) 
I saw this film in the 70's and it was my first exposure to the black humour of Orton. To this day when I watch Orton's work and I chuckle, in my mind something tells me I really shouldn't be laughing at this, because it usually represents someone's misfortune.
If you are new to the works of Joe Orton, you could do a lot worse than cut your teeth on this movie, but be prepared to wriggle with embarrassment whilst you snigger up your sleeve.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Joe Oreton's black comedy..I bought this because it's a classic and a natural follow up to "Prick Up Your Ears" the Joe Oreton biographical film.
It's an off the wall black comedy with Bery Reid as a voluptuous nymphomaniac in a flimsy, flora kaftan.The story is highly original and full of twists revealing some unexpected facets of the character's personalities. The dialogue is just a little "stagey" though.

Entertaining Mr Sloane by Joe OrtonReview created: 11/07/08

) I actually bought it for my grown up son who is studying Drama because I think it is a very important piece of work in British drama. The performances (especially of Beryl Reid) are amazing, and the TV production here is very true to the actual play. I love the work of Joe Orton.
He was a brilliant and darkly humourous playwright whose scripts entertained me so much when I was young that I wanted my son to see it too as part of his education.
