více...Bill Maitland, a middle-aged London barrister, feels contempt for his mediocre life and irritation at the seeming vacuity of the people who surround him. At home he suffers the indifference of his daughter Jane and the conventionality of his son Peter. The coldness of his wife, Anna, drives him to, among other women, his mistress, Liz Eaves, who fights a losing battle against Maitland's self-torment. At the office he is taunted for his inefficiency by his co-workers, who dislike him, and for his emotional sterility by his secretary, Shirley, with whom he has had an affair. One day everything explodes at once: his wife nags him about his promiscuity, fellow attorney Hudson scorns his offer of a junior partnership, Shirley bitterly announces that she is pregnant and resigns, and Liz refuses to be neglected simply because his daughter is having a birthday party. Shackled by indecision and his own feeling of worthlessness, he becomes useless to his clients, who include Mrs. Garnsey, a distressed woman seeking a divorce, and Maples, a homosexual arrested for public indecency. Feeling increasingly trapped, Maitland leaves work and wanders through the streets of Soho. When he returns to the office, he seeks sexual solace with Joy, his mini-skirted receptionist; but they are interrupted by the unexpected arrival of his wife. Dinner with shallow friends, arguments with both his wife and mistress, and a failure to communicate with his daughter make him even more depressed. After telephoning his wife and telling her not to see him again, he smashes his office window and walks into the empty London streets.
