“ITV have just shown the Jim Maclaine(David Essex) films of which this is the first and Stardust is the second and as an avid supporter and fan of sixties and seventies British cinema i thought i had to check it out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt doesnu0026#39;t disappoint with its gritty evocation of a fifties childhood with a lack of a father figure. Jim then turns to the Rock and Roll world when he buys a guitar from a pawn shop at the end. His rise and fall is taken up in Stardust with Adam Faith taking the Ringo Starr role as Mike.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGreat, forgotten film with superior performances from Essex and Ringo Starr and a good cameo from Keith Moon and Billy Fury.”
