THE UPTURNED GLASS is another interesting psychological character study from an introspective era of British cinema. Here it's the turn of James Mason as a top surgeon who begins a doomed relationship with a woman who apparently dies due to suicide. He's not about to let the matter rest, and when he discovers somebody responsible, he makes it his mission to deliver revenge. It's a slow-moving and rather atmospheric little piece that keeps you unsettled by not being sure where it's going; the ending in particular is intense. Mason gives an excellent performance of depth and subtlety and is ably supported by a game cast.
