A curiosity from the seventies

[malcolmgsw · 5/10 · 2 November 2018]

This relic from the seventies has washed up on the shore of the BFI player.There are some bizarre images here including John Bluthal with brown make up playing an Asian salesman.As can be expected the main purpose is to show as many naked bodies as is possible in the fairly short running time.It highlights a time when what remained of the British film industry was going downhill rapidly.

It's funny!

The other review on here comments on how this was a metaphor for the rapid decline of the British Film industry...no wonder we made so much fuss about Chariots of Fire when crazy films like this were made in the early 70's.
