Thea C @RT13659009 Dec 13 very dated and as such sometimes deeply offensive, but such style, such fun, so subversive. there are so many dolls. continuity does not matter See more Maynard M @RT60612272 09/12/2024 I normally REALLY enjoy 60's British cinema, even the obtuse offerings. But they have taken Brit obtuse, which has method in its madness, added French and Italian obtuse, which do not, blended it cruelly using an obscure American director and created quite an abominable cinematic monstrosity. Ewwwww. See more Shioka O @RT54204327 11/17/2022 Swingin London 60s cult. Enjoy the avant-garde style set, fashion, furniture from the era. Story is foolish empty and zero coherence. See more 10/30/2020 I saw it in my late 'teens, and even at that age I could tell that this was awful. Not "funny" awful. This was garbage. A waste of Dirk Bogarde and Terence Stamp, although they have to take some of the blame. The category that I would put it into is "bad 'camp'." Cheesy, unfunny, and sad. It remains the worst general release film that I have seen in my lifetime. See more 10/25/2018 American critics don't know the swinging 60's scene and don't understand the humour, Absolutely superb. It is a camp piss take of the trendy and cliche ridden. This review will never be seen but who cares, it is a good film. See more 11/14/2015 good campy fun along the lines of 1966's 'batman' or TV's 'the monkees' See more Read all reviews
