Sesso, peccato e castità (Only Two Can Play) è un film britannico del 1962 diretto da Sidney Gilliat.

È basato sul romanzo That Uncertain Feeling di Kingsley Amis, pubblicato nel 1955.

Trama

John Lewis è un bibliotecario mal pagato e professionalmente frustrato che svolge anche l'attività di critico teatrale occasionale, i cui affetti oscillano tra l'affascinante Liz e la sua longanime moglie Jean.

Quando un posto meglio pagato diventa vacante, Lewis è riluttante a fare domanda, ma viene convinto a farlo da Jean. Poi, incontra l'attraente Elizabeth Gruffydd-Williams (Liz), designer della compagnia teatrale della zona e moglie di un consigliere locale.

Liz si offre di intercedere presso suo marito per aiutare Lewis ad ottenere il lavoro e chiarisce che è anche fisicamente attratta da lui. Lewis viene facilmente sedotto e ne nasce una relazione, anche se la coppia clandestina non riesce mai a consumare.

Dopo essere stato convinto da Liz a lasciare la rappresentazione di una nuova produzione teatrale alla quale avrebbe dovuto assistere in qualità di critico, Lewis invia una recensione fasulla al giornale locale, ma viene a sapere la mattina successiva che il teatro è andato a fuoco poco dopo l'inizio dello spettacolo, che quindi non è mai andato in scena. Jean viene così a conoscenza della relazione e si vendica incoraggiando la sua vecchia fiamma Probert, un personaggio letterario e drammaturgo presuntuoso (autore della sfortunata commedia che doveva andare in scena nel teatro incendiatosi). Lewis perde anche l'amicizia del suo collega e migliore amico, Ieuan Jenkins, che aveva avuto un ruolo nella commedia.

Quando a Lewis viene offerto il lavoro meglio pagato, si rende conto che Liz ora lo userà e lo controllerà se glielo permette. Rendendosi finalmente conto del prezzo che ha pagato, interrompe la relazione e accetta un lavoro come bibliotecario, nella speranza che questo lo tenga lontano dalle donne predatrici. Jean non è così sicura che egli possa resistere a lungo al fascino femminile e si unisce a lui per tenerlo d'occhio.
