Round 9: Tossup 19

In a homoerotic, shadowy sequence from a film by this director, two men pelt rubber balls at each other on a staircase before one says “you’ve got a guilty secret” while they play hide-and-seek. In that film by this director, Susan says she doesn’t “give a tinker’s gob” what the title character thinks before snidely asking him, “do you think you go well with the color scheme?” A convex mirror is a key motif in a scene by this director in which a film’s title character reveals that Vera is not his sister, but his fiancée. Michel Legrand (“luh-GRAWN”) is credited (-5[1])on Marcelo Zarvos’s score for Todd Haynes’s May December, since it re-arranges Legrand’s score for this director’s adaptation of The (*) Go-Between. Films this American director made in Europe after his blacklisting include Accident, Mr. Klein, and a 1963 film about Tony’s employment of Hugo Barrett, played by Dirk Bogarde. For 10 points, name this director of Harold Pinter’s (10[1])screenplay for The Servant. ■END■
