I saw this movie as a teenager in high school and I must have watched it 20 times when I had the VHS copy in college. Ione Skye is the best part of this movie. That is not to downplay the other actors, who are actually fantastic British actors. Dexter Fletcher narrates as well as acts and is really enjoyable in his role. Ione Skye plays the female love interest and played her character with such feminine grace as well as her tremendous physical beauty that I always assumed that was how the character was described in the Martin Amis book. I read the book after seeing the movie and realized that Ione Skye was just excellent casting. Really loved this movie.
