GOLLOCKS! played in UK cinemas for a brief while in the 1970s/early 1980s (I saw it as a supporting short for FLESH GORDON), but I don't know whether it's still obtainable in any shape or form - such is the sorry fate meted out to short films.The action (such as it is - GOLLOCKS! is a slow-burning film which grows on you as you watch it) centres on a seemingly typical middle-class family living in a nightmare part of west London: within spitting distance of the A4, the M4, the main railway line out of Paddington - and under a flightpath into Heathrow airport.So a quiet house it isn't! George Armstrong - the dad (the wonderful Freddie Jones) - is always sending off letters of complaint to the local council about the noise; Mrs Armstrong - the mum (Avril Angers) - chatters incessantly about nothing in particular; and their son Edward (Robert Longden) seems to be a right layabout.But Dad seems also to be spending a lot of time in his shed at the bottom of the garden...And who are the mysterious men who may (or may not) be watching the house? GOLLOCKS! is a slow, low-key movie that has stayed in my mind for over 25 years - no mean feat! Whether that is a reflection of the state of my mind (what mind?) or something else I do not know... but it would be nice if others could have the opportunity to see this film and judge for themselves?
