Review by Library Journal Review

Roman Polanski's remarkable feature film debut powerfully explores the intrinsically competitive nature of men-especially in the presence of an attractive woman. An upper-middle-class couple picks up a college student hitchhiker and take him sailing on their small yacht. The experienced older man lords it over his callow guest in ways both subtle and obvious as they continually duel for dominance. Extras include a recent interview with the director, along with eight of his seminal early short films on a second disc. For all collections.(c) Copyright 2010.
