This is a film crying out for DVD release (unavailable on any format at the time of writing). One of those gems of movies that appear on TV every so often in the early hours, this story of a mental patient who may or may not be an alien visitor manages to charm whilst side-stepping Sci-Fi cliché.
Although similar in subject matter to films such as Terry Gilliam's excellent "The Fisher King", this is equally successful in it's own, subtler way. An excellent film, worth staying up late for should you ever see it materialize in the TV listings.

This film is notable for two early appearances: John Barry's (James Bond) first film score and an early role for Oliver Reed as a teenage reveller. In some ways reminiscent of a pubescent La Dolce Vita, the film succeeds for one reason alone - Gillian Hills makes a truly seductive and formidable she-devil in the form of Jennifer.
Yes, the film is dripping in kitsch value, but one can't help but be absorbed the atmosphere, from the milk bar to the cave party, where English Elvis wannabe Adam Faith curls his lip to the drumming of an upturned guitar. Although before my time, I'm sure life in 1960 was never quite this with it, daddy-o.
It's not the greatest film ever made, but the wonderfully sleazy theme by Barry sets the tone nicely, and it rates as one of the best teenage exploitation movies to come out of the UK.
