Curator’s clip description
Peter (Norman Kaye) and Patricia (Wendy Hughes) meet for dinner at her flat, their third encounter in a week. He is anxious to move to the bedroom, to look at her piano, but she is uncomfortable with any man entering that room.
Curator’s notes
The sexual innuendo of the scene is very playful – it’s not her piano that he really wants to see – but just getting access to her bedroom is a kind of victory, for him.
