Review of Room at the Top (1958) by Adrian B — 06 Mar 2012
Laurence Harvey plays a man who works his way up the ladder of a company for which he has just recently meet. On the side, he has meet two very different women. One, is very attractive actress (Heather Sears) to which he eventually impregnates.
The other, an older actress (Simone Signoret), for which their affair gets hot and she falls deeply in love with him. Pretty gripping drama with good performances by all cast, but it has lost some of its edge since its release in 1959.
The two lead performances by Harvey and Signoret are quite good particularly and the script and story are surprisingly adequate. Interestingly, for two years in a row (1959 and 1960), Harvey starred along two actresses who won Best Actress.
The other in 1960 was Elizabeth Taylor in "Butterfield 8," a film that was not very good.
