This British comedy, rarely seen here, exists in the grey zone where television reality spills over into Real Life-in fact it predicts Albert Brooks' Real Life in strange ways. Peter Finch and Kay Kendall are a showbiz couple whose marriage has seen one too many seasons. But when a TV station proposes to "come into their home" for a bizarre, fictionalized documentary series about the domestic life of an ideal couple, they put away the divorce papers and lay on the smiles. Daggers will out, however, and "the infant of the entertainment industry" soon gets a taste of unadulterated passion. Peter Finch, who twenty years later would inveigh against The Tube in Network, already is adept at a certain vanity and pomposity needed to play the game. Here he's mad as hell only at his feisty wife Kendall, but the film itself clearly is onto something important about the "infant" and its diet of pabulum. (JB)
