“This was like Ed Wood on a slightly higher budget set in London in the Swinging Sixties–the HEIGHT of that era, in fact. To that end, the ONE redeeming quality to this film is performance footage of a relatively obscure but FANTASTIC psychedelic rock band of the period, Timebox.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOtherwise, the acting is WELL below par, the direction entirely direction-less, and the incidental music used to give the illusion of excitement when nothing more is happening than that a car gets stuck waiting for an opening before merging onto a highway. The number of scenes that were clearly first takes in which the actor moves in some noticeably awkward way like they donu0026#39;t really know what to do with themselves is amazing, but they seem to let these stand probably for purposes of staying within or under budget or something.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut maybe the funniest thing is that British Film Institute chose this turkey to spend restoration money on. Iu0026#39;d have tossed all of it but Timeboxu0026#39;s three minutes in the early nightclub scene.”
