 Film Comment
His tally of Loseys at that point was three: the Hollywood version (1948-52), the early British incarnation (1954-62), and the art-house auteur revealed in The Servant (63) and culminating in Accident (67).
Losey was never really a comfortable filmmaker in any of his national habitats, and, in his films, along with a focus on clashes of ego and energy goes an uneasy compacting of different styles and influences.

Losey is concerned to show a constellation or atomic structure, hence the piling up of Sirk and Mann and Sturges and Minnelli and Shakespeare with a personal camera.
The modern interest for Losey is in another tempo, the day that begins with a washing machine, and this sustains him for the travelogue of Europe and the drug trade, filmed in sparkling shots whose definite impression is given a certain sense of hilarity by Richard Hartley’s score.

 Ehrenstein on Joseph Losey

Born in La Crosse Wisconsin, Joseph Walton Losey began his career in the theater and had made a smooth transition to the cinema when the communist witch-hunt era of the immediate post-World War II period (yes, he had been a party member) spurred him to hop the pond.
Yet the sinuously insinuating camera movements and interest in sexual degradation in Losey's oeuvre both preceded the Pinter collaboration and continued in its wake.

 King & Country by Joseph Losey at Video Hills.com
Losey had worked with the great dramatist Bertolt Brecht, who believed that the content of a story mattered less than the way you told it.
Losey is primarily concerned with criticizing the bureaucratic nature of military thinking and with exploring the dynamic contrasts between the upper-class officers and working-class enlisted men, each of whom understand duty and fate in very different ways.
Losey also avoids inadvertantly glorifying war, as so many otherwise sincere anti-war films do when they give us the vicarious thrill of battle by aestheticizing military conflict (like Kubrick's Paths of Glory) or when they give us solace in the male cameraderie of soldiers (like Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front).
