Like his compatriot, Skolimowski came to Britain in the mid 1960s and made a number of fascinating and unusual films, including The Shout (1978) and Moonlighting (1982). Perhaps best-known amongst these films is Deep End, a German-UK co-production principally shot in Munich, but set in London. In the film a fresh-faced employee (John Moulder-Brown) at a run-down London swimming baths obsesses after his sassy and self-assured co-worker (played by Jane Asher) whilst collecting tips for the ‘special services’ he is expected to perform for his middle-aged female clients (including Diana Dors, making an unforgettable cameo appearance). Other foreign directors have effectively used their outsider’s eye to capture the essence of Britishness in their films – see also Jules Dassin’s Night and the City (1950) and Tomas Alfredson’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Orbit DVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39946402791468,"sku":"5035673010631U","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/products\/6274252eb1bb34d58be29ce8367c5bb92e33068b_ea9b2f92-9930-49f7-b30f-0e6e4ce85c43.jpg?v=1776102031","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/deep-end-region-b-blu-raydvd-used","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
