Makes the Confession series look like Citizen Kane
This film gives a good idea as to the parlous state of the British film industry in the 1970s.
The fact that it features so many familiar faces is indicative of how little film work was available to them in this period.
It is good to get a glimpse of such favourites as Bill Fraser,Sam Kydd,Arnold Ridley and Fred Emney. However this cannot be said of Diana Dors who was rapidly becoming a caricature of her former glamorous self.
This farrago was written,produced and directed by my favourite screen villain of the period, Derren Nesbitt. Its a pitty that he couldn't find one funny line in the overlong 90 minutes running time.
