A cult classic from the sixties directed by Czech born filmmaker Karel Reisz (The French Lieutenant’s Woman), Morgan – A Suitable Case For Treatment stars British character acting legend David Warner in his first and only lead role. A gorilla-fixated artist with a distinctly anarchist tendencies, Morgan Delt tries to regain the affections of his divorced wife Leonie (played by Vanessa Redgrave in her film debut) by variously kidnapping her, attempting to blow up her future mother-law and attacking her fiance, played by celebrated stage actor Sir Robert Stephens. Cut with scenes from King Kong and Tarzan films, Morgan’s depiction of madness, dark humour and vintage performance made it the 1960s wildest, funniest and most provocative comedy.
