Mr Smith is a 1976 short film written and directed by Adrian Lyne and starring Peter Barkworth. It was often shown as a 'filler' in London's West End cinemas along with horror or soft porn films such as Emmanuelle . It was Lyne's second short film, following The Table (1973), and was well received at the London Film Festival. [1]
The film traces a day in the life of middle-aged Mr Smith (Barkworth), which ends with his suicide. [2]
