Adapted from Vladamir Nabokov's novel of the same, LAUGHTER IN THE DARK deals with the obsession of a middle-aged man (Nicol Williamson) and his younger cunning mistress Margot (Anna Karina)-- think Scarlet Street meets the British new wave. Tony Richardson trades Nabokov's 1930's Berlin for the Swinging 60’s of London in this lustful thriller of deceit which was never released on home video and has rarely-screened since it’s 1969 release. Anna Karina shines in her all-english role as the charming irresistible seductress who cultivates something mysterious behind her delicate wide-eyes.
