Film School: Why Our Critic Justin Tanner Recommends This Classic!
'The Pumpkin Eater' (1964) directed by Jack Clayton, is an achingly brutal analysis of infidelity, jealousy and obsession starring Oscar nominated Anne Bancroft as a woman who can’t seem to stop having children; she is saddled with eight at the top of the film.
Her marriage to a philandering screenwriter (the always terrific Peter Finch), starts to disintegrate when she discovers his affair with her best friend (an unbelievably young Maggie Smith).
Harold Pinter’s script is strange and marvelous, and includes one of the greatest scenes ever captured on film: A Brilliantly unhinged monologue delivered to Bancroft while at the hairdressers by the deliciously named Yootha Joyce. Joyce’s character, a lonely desperate woman under an adjacent hairdryer, skitters between vapid sycophancy and blood curdling madness. Culminating with the ice cold delivery of the line “Ever have your skin clawed off?” Unforgettable.
While the ending isn’t as satisfying as it could be, the film does include a visceral fist fight between Bancroft and Finch that will leave you positively gasping for air.
