i also prefer SN&SM, and you're right the acting is great (adapted from a play? could be mistaken) but i would love it just for the accents and vintage if nothing else. you'd be surprised, the casual film-goer is not usually aware that we made such gritty films in the 60s.. i guess you could file this under British new wave?
FW Murnau ('im who directed that Nosferatu) with what i understand is his most lauded film, and was made in 1927 after his move to Hollywood. He has gone straight in a sense, but stylistically it's not straight-down-the-line classical H'wood, otherwise it'd just be a dated melodrama.
I had to watch this for my course, and being half asleep I decided to watch the whole thing to 'Black Sea' by XTC. Your brain has a way of synching these elements together.
