What happens

Two Gentlemen Sharing is a 1969 American-British drama film directed by Ted Kotcheff, starring Robin Phillips, Judy Geeson, Esther Anderson, Hal Frederick, Norman Rossington and Rachel Kempson. It was written by Evan Jones based on the 1963 novel of the same name by David Stuart Leslie. Ted Kotcheff called it "the best film of what you might call my British period" and felt "it had a negative statement. It said that whites and blacks can't get along, mainly because we have too many misunderstandings, too many illusions and myths about each other." He felt this hurt it commercially as "people wanted an upbeat statement about the brotherhood of man." The film was not theatrically released in the UK. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
