    Looks like fun

    Well I have to say that the wedding shown looks far more entertaining than any I have ever been to. However what seems slightly strange is that none of the guests seems to be older than30.The commentary seems to have come from one of Ra nks Look At Life series.So this really is a hoot.

    plenty of bare flesh

    Included with the far superior Legend of the Witches on the BFI Blu-ray release, this is not without interest but not made with much enthusiasm. At least not going by the drearily delivered narration or the incredibly bored sounding Alex Saunders, who seems to drone on throughout the film in the same monotone. Derek Ford is aware of what the punters want, however, and despite all efforts to make this seem as dull as possible, he does ensure that we have plenty of bare flesh and colourful scenes.
