Zee and Co. (1971)

Amid the vibrant and pulsating heart of swinging London, we find the intriguing pair of the Blakeleys: the refined architect Robert (Sir Michael Caine), and his vivacious, domineering wife Zee (Dame Elizabeth Taylor), a couple who wield their financial fortune and childless status as a license for indulgence in their shared and individual narcissistic desires. Their relationship, an intense cocktail of love and loathing, is a dance around their individual whims and wants. In this whirlwind, they cross paths with the serene and widowed Stella (Susannah York), a talented couturier. Robert is instantly drawn to Stella, her tranquility and understanding offering a stark contrast to Zee's relentless vigor. He embarks on an affair with Stella, which quickly evolves from a fleeting dalliance to a love affair. Stella's presence fills the voids in Robert's life that Zee neither can nor wishes to fill. However, Zee is unwilling to let go of her tumultuous relationship with Robert so easily. She embarks on a series of calculated maneuvers aimed at splintering the tranquil life Robert and Stella are building. As each ploy fails to yield the desired result, Zee's tactics become increasingly desperate, threatening to reduce Stella to a mere pawn in the Blakeleys' twisted game of love and hate. Zee and Robert's volatile relationship continues its undulating course throughout this tale, revealing a captivating narrative of love, hate, and the lengths one will go to protect what they believe is rightfully theirs. The secrets lurking in Stella's past and their potential implications add an additional layer of intrigue to this compelling narrative. The movie is a captivating exploration of complex relationships, set against the backdrop of a city that's as dynamic and unpredictable as its inhabitants.
