They are awful but I like them!
26 February 2007 | by (Cardiff, Wales) – See all my reviews

During the first 10 minutes you wait with eager anticipation for Dick Emery to appear. This must be where he got his idea of interviewing 'characters' in the street from. If you've seen it you'll know what I mean. Hello honkytonks indeed! This film is a classic and the British equivalent of a release on the Something Weird DVD label. The music is fantastic and some of the women are actually very attractive. It certainly is a social document from a by-gone age. Think Budgie, dodgy punters in Soho bookshops, 8mm stag films and Get Carter. But it's not really that seedy - the middle class swingers own Forever Changes by Love - that's far from being a drag man! The most bizarre thing is that this film has the ambiance of a public information film on the 'Charley Says' compilation.

I'd swap my wife....For a new motor!!! 10/10
