Jurgen W 12/29/2023 The plot of "Saltburn" owes more than a little to "Something for Everyone." Angela Lansbury and Michael York are terrific, and his character's wickedness is delicious. See more 11/13/2023 I saw this back in 1971. All I really remember was that it was clever, entertaining, and original. I want to see it again. See more steve d 07/17/2020 false advertising... See more 11/12/2019 A one-of-a-kind black comedy/drama with Angela Lansbury dripping ennui amid gorgeous cinematography. The supporting cast is uniformly wonderful. An undervalued camp classic. See more 02/17/2017 Great film with amazing performances from both Lansbury and York. I'm so glad that it has finally been released in BlueRay.
