Zee (Elizabeth Taylor) and Robert Blakeley (Michael Caine) are a heated married couple in swinging London. He is taken with Stella (Susannah York) and they start an affair. It's a toxic mix of lust, jealousy, and petty revenge as Zee intends to break them up.
This is also known as Zee and Co. These characters are not that appealing. Elizabeth Taylor is camping it up. Michael Caine does well to keep up. Susannah York seems incapable of doing anything more than bland sweetness. She struggles to be more than a victim. There is no actual rooting interest although I am interested in how dark this could get. It's not the darkest, but it has some dark tones. It is trying to be a pulpy lusty melodrama, and it does succeed in that.
