Storyline

Successful businessman Joe Lampton is married to the wealthy Susan, has two children, and lives in the mill town of Warley in northern England. But his career seems to have plateaued, leaving him disillusioned. This feeling is only exacerbated when he discovers his wife's infidelity with local man Mark. So he takes up with attractive TV host Norah and moves with her to London, aiming to reignite the fire that drove him to the top.

Phil Hardy

RTTime OutMar 2, 2020

A lacklustre sequel to Room at the Top.

Bosley Crowther

RTNew York TimesMar 2, 2020

This picture could be a documentary of all the ugly, tawdry, complicating things that might happen to restless married people when they found themselves helplessly caught in the stuffy social surroundings of the industrial Establishment.

J

Joan Didion

RTVogueMar 2, 2020

An il-advised sequel to the energetic Room at the Top.

W

RTMaclean's MagazineJun 27, 2019

Life At The Top is not a very likable film, partly because the treatment is heavy-handed, and partly because Joe's self-disgust turns everything sour...
