A curiosity
When EMI took over an ailing ABPC in 1970 they decided to get Elstree studios working again.With that in mind they appointed Bryan Forbes as head of production.He produced a slate of 16 films.Some of those,such as The Railway Children,still get an airing on TV.However this film never got a cinema release.It was recently released on DVD and has a recent TV screening on London Live.The film is presumably supposed to be a comedy,well it isn't.It is incoherent.So far as I was concerned the only moment of interest was the brief shot of an Arsenal match at Highbury,not Stamford Bridge as indicated by another reviewer.There are also some interesting shots of London in that era.
