"The Stray is a well written little story concerning a lonely little woman who returns to her husband, but finds he wants no more to do with her, for reasons explained as the story unfolds. Its ring of sincerity, coupled with good acting on the part of both the woman and her husband, was most surely the primary basis for the film landing in the top ten" PSA Journal, Aug. 1967, 36.
A short BFI entry on the film exists.
The film was made available to screen for free for International Women’s Day 2016 by the East Anglian Film Archive and the University of East Anglia with the description:
From Brief Encounter to The Duchess, films have often explored female desire and extra-marital affairs. Here, female filmmaker Marjorie Martin creates a drama where a woman’s affair means she is rejected by her farmer husband – a drama that questions whether the ‘swinging sixties’ really was a period of newfound sexual freedom for women.
