How it feels

A short comedy that shows different ways a husband might react when he comes home early and finds his wife with another man. It plays with the idea by imagining how six different countries would handle the same awkward situation.

What happens

The Six-Sided Triangle is a 1963 British short film written and directed by Christopher Miles and produced with Sara Bennett. It parodies a favourite theme of the cinema - the eternal triangle - and shows how six countries might deal with the moment a husband returns home unexpectedly to find his wife with a lover, with Sarah Miles, Nicol Williamson and Bill Meilen. It was a seminal short film which broke through the Rank/ABPC distribution cartels and was theatrically released by British Lion and world-wide by Lion International, and nominated for an Academy Award.
