Morgan - a Suitable Case for Treatment (1966) has long been one of my favourite films, although I haven't seen it in decades, so it was nice to revisit it, and have it in my collection. This is one of the off-beat comedies that proliferated in the sixties, and shows us how unique that decade was. There are some madcap scenes around the antics of the central character, Morgan Delt, a self-absorbed young artist, brilliantly played by David Warner. He has an obsession with apes, and a scene in which he dresses in a gorilla suit and crashes a wedding while on a motorcycle is one of the highlights (I sometimes wonder if this film led to him being cast in Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, 25 years later). This copy is from a very good print, and the black and white photography is shown to advantage. Don't be misled by the jacket design - whoever pasted this up has clearly never seen the film - it makes it look like a serious drama about 'feelings'. It does have a poignancy about it, but it's buried under all the fun. Vanessa Redgrave (in her first major film role) gets top billing, mostly because her name is Redgrave, but, although she's fine in it, this is Warner's film.Read full review
