This extremely hard to find film is truly one of a kind. Sure it is difficult viewing as was Inadmissible Evidence from the year before (1968) also starring the wonderful Nicol Williamson. But this is what makes both films so compelling: their ability to unsettle and unnerve the viewer in a way very few films I have seen can.
Nicol Williamson excels yet again as the man with everything brought down to nothing and the supporting cast is very strong and exceptionally well cast.
1969 was a very productive year for the Nicol Williamson/Tony Richardson partnership as their excellent version of Hamlet was also released that year.
All three films are strongly recommended to those who appreciate British cinema of the 1960s though Inadmissible Evidence and Laughter In The Dark are very hard to find having never been released on video or DVD to my knowledge.
