The Fox
The Fox ... symbol of the male.
Directed by Mark Rydell
Produced by Motion Pictures International
A tense, psychologically complex love triangle set on an isolated farm that uses a stranger's arrival to expose the fraught, unspoken desires between two women.
Jill Banford and Ellen March have built a good life together on a hardscrabble Canadian farm. Then handsome Paul Grenfell enters their isolated world, and sets friend against friend. But is Paul the real trouble between Jill and Ellen? Or has his presence merely awakened the unspoken, unexplored sexual tension that always existed between the women?
