Additional Information
Tolen (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.
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.

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.

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.

The Knack And How To Get It, Classic British film.
This film in B&W, is s delight. An early example of that quirkey British style of the 60s, made before the world revolved around American studios, and was all the better for it, other fils you may want to see, the bedsitting room, oh what a loverly war and so on, seek them out and rejoice in British film at its best.
