Don’t worry about the ‘adult’ tag, it’s pretty tame even by sixties standards! This is such a great British sixties film even though the plot is pretty thin (boy chases girls to lose his virginity and that’s about it) and the acting is pretty standard (though I could watch Judy Geeson in just about anything, as the wonderfully camp scifi dvd of the Star Maidens on my shelf attests) but sometimes the worth of a film is much more than the obvious.
Whether it’s the shining new architecture of Stevenage (then a new town and on the BFI DVD/Bluray there’s even a documentary on said place), the appearance of the Spencer Davis Group or the groovy as fuct soundtrack involving Simon Napier Bell, the fabulous ‘gear’ as clothing was known as for a brief period before becoming the de facto code for heroin and steroids) or something totally indefinable, that’s more than the sum of its parts, whatever it is, this film has got it.
