A truly bad movie set in London in The Swinging sixties, this film seems to have no other purpose than to show a bunch of young losers and the loser adults in their life, particularly the aging Jennifer Jones who tries to keep her son completely under her thumb. Jones is beautiful, even with that severe short haircut, and that makes her ripe for seduction by her son's best friend, Michael Parks. But she's controlling in every way shape and form, and it's an unfortunate character for the oscar-winning legend to be playing.
Some very dreary black and white photography doesn't aid to the film which really has little in the way of its script and character development and Direction. The performances, including Jones, are just adequate, and at times, the film has absolutely no pacing, slowing down to a snail trot. There's nothing even campy or unintentionally funny about the older woman younger man paring, and everyone seems to be walking around completely bored. Jones would have been better off in one of those hag horror films popular at the time than she was with this. A completely insipid and forgettable movie.
