Entertaining Mr Sloane is a 1970 British black comedy film directed by Douglas Hickox. The screenplay by Clive Exton is based on the 1964 play of the same title by Joe Orton. This was the second adaptation of the play, the first having been developed for British television and broadcast by ITV on 15 July 1968.^[3]

In the film, a lonely woman invites a recent acquaintance to become her lodger and her lover. Her brother likes him as well, and the new arrival plays the siblings against each other. But the lodger is eventually blackmailed into becoming both their prisoner and their shared lover, in a ménage à trois.
