Standard Edition Blu-ray
Jonathan Millers film of Kingsley Amis comic novel (adapted for the screen by George Melly), casts Hayley Mills (Whistle Down the Wind,Twisted Nerve) as a nave young girl who moves from the North of England to teach in a London school and finds herself fending off the advances of a number of lusty suitors, including Oliver Reed, John Bird and Noel Harrison.
As much a document of its time as a satire on the sexual mores (and confusions) of the period, Millers still remarkably fresh debut feature is buoyed by its terrific cast and a typically excellent Stanley Myers score.
