Tonight's film in this season of British films by some of the distinguished directors and writers who brought a new style to the cinema in the 60s.
Starring James Booth, Roy Kinnear, Marisa Mell

Jim and Henry feel that Gormleigh-on-Sea needs livening up and persuade the Mayor to stage a film festival. The presence of starlet Franchise Fayol promises to do for Gormleigh what Brigitte Bardot did for St Tropez!
Director Ken Russell creates a mixture of fantasy and buffoonery in this highly original view of the staid English seaside resort - his first feature film. Gormleigh was played by the Kent resort of Herne Bay. Music is by Georges Delerue, who wrote the themes for Hiroshima Mon Amour, Shoot the Pianist and Jules et Jim.
