Dirk Bogarde ultimately became an actor obsessed with making 'important' films that no-one particularly liked apart from the critics. This includes Providence, a film that sets out to be enigmatic and impenetrable but is actually just boring and unengaging. Dirk does virtually nothing with his underwritten character apart from a scene where he picks up a sandwich and runs through his standard range of expressions: exasperated, disappointed, supercilious, appalled...
Does Dirk eventually eat the sandwich? No, he does not.
