Jerzy Skolimowski, the Polish director of the excellent Essential Killing, made several British films in the Seventies and this slightly misogynist comedy from 1970, set largely around a shabby London swimming pool, has John Moulder-Brown as an attendant who develops an obsession for one of his female colleagues.
The surprise is that the femme fatale is Jane Asher, showing she was a much better actress than many thought.
A highly original slice of London life, beautifully made.
