I do not consider this book of John Fowles to be impressive, and film does not improve on the book by cutting out a character in the book. And Fowles, has written more impressive novels.
The film is important as it is belongs to the last phase of William Wyler's career. The only impressive bits of the film are the lead performances of Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar, both of whom won the acting honors at Cannes for this film.
