Wealthy music promoter Rod Hamilton throws an anniversary party for a famous jazzman, Aurelius Rex, and his wife and musical partner, Delia. Music and goodwill flow freely until the arrival of an ambitious musical rival, Johnny Cousin, who - intent on poaching Delia to join his own band - plans to destroy the couple's relationship over the course of a single night. Patrick McGoohan and Richard Attenborough star in this powerful psychological drama which deftly re-interprets Shakespeare's 'Othello' via the beating, syncopated heart of East London's early-sixties jazz scene.
