Additional InformationTolen (Ray Brooks) has it. Colin (Michael Crawford) doesn't. "It" is the knack for getting women into bed. After obtaining lessons from the master, Colin buys a bed big enough for his conquests. This leads Colin and his friend Tom (Donal Donnelly) to Nancy (Rita Tushingham), an attractive innocent country girl. The boys vie for her affections, but when she meets Tolen, she faints, overcome by his charm. Nancy awakens thinking she has been raped and points her finger at the hapless Colin.<BR>As films age they are commonly seen as "tame by today's standards." This is not the case with this outrageously loose 1965 portrait of Swinging London. A revolutionary film, this amoral slapstick combined the rapid-fire-gag approach used by director Richard Lester in his previous work with the Beatles (A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, HELP!) with the awareness of technique popularized by the French New Wave. The style of filmmaking perfectly captures the time period and was also highly influential to the film school generation of the late 1960s and early 1970s. John Barry's playful score fusing jazz and pop sets the frenetic pace. Though purely cinematic, the film is based on a popular play by Ann Jellicoe.

Please watch this
I thought this is a very very entertaining film.Very creative and funny and interesting.I read that it appears dated (rotten tomatoes) but films of the London sixties feel so alive and positive.I sense a 'woke' reaction against the ending when Rita Tushingham shouts Rape at the various men.Stop and think about, the ending is a lot deeper than a scared critic defensive response.Ricgard Lester has produced a gem here. I love Rita Tushingham.Bought a T-Shirt with her face on.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Aaah! Sweet memories!
So wonderful to see this flick again after all these years. You have to be of a certain age I suppose. I assume it's not been on TV of late due to the 'rape' scenes. Probably wouldn't be considered very PC these days. Great fun though - I loved it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

So.... BAD... after all these years..
Oh dear.... I loved this film in the sixties, as an impressionable teen, living in what are now the London suburbs - when London was supposedly swinging, and I lapped up the myth, the fab music... the fabulous "dolly birds" all over the press, and those cool photographers (how I wanted to be David Bailey.. or David Hemmings in Blow Up...) Far too young to actually experience this things first hand, though, so enjoyed in vicarious experiences through films like this. But, now, as someone who spent most of his adult life since in TV production, I look at this with utter disappointed dismay. It's all so BAD - the laboured visual jokes, the badly synched comments from the street bystanders... just so badly done. Sure, we've all matured a lot in the last fifty years (and how depressing to note all those years passed..), and we've become film-sophisticated by so much TV, film, and ad production since... but, really, film could actually be outstanding then too, as we know. There had been plenty of great film-making long before Richard Lester made this, and Hard Days Night (actually much bettter than this...) - but I think he got away with murder in this (and to think it was a Cannes Winner!) So... as a reminder of some of the worst of sixties film-making, it's passable... As a "good" film.... sadly not....Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
