VERY underrated film - a mature Norman Wisdom at his acting best - a very young but mature Sally Gleeson showing us what a talented actress she is - add together a well done script and direction (At times, esp the beginning, reminding me of the soon to be shown talent of Nicolas Roeg.

This is perhaps Wisdoms peak performance - and the best of British cinema at the time. Deserves to be watched more than once. Shame Gleeson didn't do more cinema work like this.

The music - and the 'love' signature plays well in the film. As well as songs (and visuals) of the band 'the pretty things' of a great largely forgotten band are remembered here.

Norman shows what a talent he is.
