Much more compulsive viewing that Ken Russell's film version which came out shortly afterwards. Imogen Stubbs makes a name for herself with a notable display of sexual tension. Shame she's never demonstrated the same features since. Russells version was limp by comparison despite Sammi Davis' best efforts.
