Morgan is a British comedy-drama film released in 1966, directed by Karel Reisz and starring David Warner in the lead role of Morgan Delt. The film tells the story of Morgan's eccentric and imaginative personality, who fixates on a childhood love and seeks to win her back, defying his ex-wife and her bourgeois family.
Morgan's wild and erratic behavior leads him to clash with the police and his former in-laws, who see him as a threat to their social status and attempt to have him committed to a mental institution. However, Morgan's vivid imagination and off-beat humor prove to be his strength in the face of conventional thinking and oppression.
The film features a flamboyant performance by David Warner, who brings out the contradictions and complexities of Morgan's character with remarkable skill. The supporting cast includes Vanessa Redgrave, Robert Stephens, Irene Handl, and Bernard Bresslaw.
Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment is considered a landmark film of British cinema, reflecting the rebellious spirit and changing values of the 1960s. It won several awards, including the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and launched the careers of its young director and lead actor.
