When Betrayal first premiered in 1978 it was received rather coldly by critics and audiences alike, who were perhaps expecting Pinter to deal with more significant themes instead of focusing on his own adulterous escapades.

It's the 1970s and British sound designer Gilderoy is stepping well out of his comfort zone to create the soundscape for Italian horror-thriller director Santini's latest movie.
