The Gypsy and the Gentleman

Joseph Losey
UK      107 m.
Synopsis

One of the most unusual and atypical films in Joseph Losey’s filmography is this unfettered period drama narrating the stormy relationship between an English aristocrat and a young gypsy girl determined to marry him for his fortune. Greek cinema’s leading star Melina Mercouri plays a female character whose subversive leverage was all of a novelty in the British films of the time.
