The documentary on Joseph Losey was recorded right after his great triumph at Cannes with The Go-Between, for which he was awarded the Palme D’Or; he recounts his departure from America in the early 1950s, his difficulties in establishing himself in Europe, and his eventual reemergence with films such as The Servant and Accident. –NYFF
The Go-Between came out in 1970 so this can't be 1959 if the description is right.
