Recorded from Talking Pictures.
I have given this an 8 because compared to just about every contemporary drama these days it was so much more enjoyable.
Obviously if a film is shot in the 1972/73, then it is 100% authentic of the time, and the location, fashion, cars, High Street scenes were a real nostalgia trip and the fact it was in colour added to this.
A couple of years ahead of its time there was a real Sweeney feel to this. In the mid-long distance shots James Booth could have been Jack Regan and Nicky Henson was an able George Carter type support.
It was also a reminder of the lovely Una Stubbs who was married to Henson at the time.
If I had watched this at the time I might not have seen the "twist" but I could see it right from the start (blonde with glasses).
Watch out for a great rugby tackle by Nicky Henson near the end.
